The Prayer !!!!!!!!
by Bob S

As I near my journey’s end.

I can not sit I can hardly bend.

I pray to God for my pain to end.

It Will my son when your journey ends

When oh when will my Journey end

I want my loved ones hearts to mend

They will my son when your journey ends

When? I pray when will my journey end.

I want my friends their hearts to mend.

They will my son only when your journey ends

When I pray will my journey be through.

My heart is heavy and I am blue.

I have done all I can do. Please tell me when will my journey be through

My son I know your heart is blue

But there still is much work to do

Start each day if anew and touch someone’s heart who just like you.

You must help one who is sad and blue

Just as I have helped you

Then my Son I will come for you.

There is always someone who is sad and blue

We must help to make them feel new.

And through this lifetime we start each day new.

To Pass on our love to help the one’s that are blue.

Now my friends I pass this on to you

For now my journey is almost through.

And I know that God will surly bless you.

And keep you each day as you make sad hearts new.

For It is something we all must do
