I pray before I go to bed. I pray before I sleep. I do not pray for a house or boat, nor for a fancy jeep. I do not pray for luxury - nor for a pay increase. I only pray for noble things - I pray for love and peace.
Although I'd like to be in love, I pray not for a wife. I only pray that God would let me sacrifice my life. I pray that this is reasonable - that God would take my breath; and take away two vicious things - crack cocaine and meth.
Footnote: just to clear up any confusion, I do not indulge in drug usage; I only pray that God will remove crack cocaine and meth from this world.

Lord I pray
that you strengthen
the weak
Give them reason
to continue to speak
Cover them in your grace
as we feel for this race
as we continue to procreate...
And... Lord if I'm not asking for too much
Please lessen the suffering
among many of us!Amen!
WRITE ON!
Interesting poetic form, Harold. I like. And if
I were a praying man, I'd pray that all your prayers
are answered. In the meantime, I'll think happy
thoughts for you. Gene.

AMEN to that! I also pray for that. Cocaine and Meth have destroyed so many people, so many families. May God be with them.
Many blessings,
