Prayer 祈り

Sorry, this is not the usual fare.
I will digress to talk only of prayer
For many friends and relations and foes
what is needed just the Almighty knows.

If you were at once to attempt to list
everyone you hope that God would assist.
Spending all morning, evening and nighttime
would bring no end ever in our lifetime.

Asking for health, wealth and various things
is not just for what the mockingbird sings.
For where our treasure is so too our heart.
God wants our all, every little last part.

Much to our behest only God knows best
and seemingly leaves us often unblessed.
In times of true darkness, trust in the Lord
and He will place you square back on board

Let not this chalice pass, Thy will, Thy will
that only Your will I aim to fulfill.
Not just me Lord but that within Your plan
All have their role, every child, woman, man

I find it is best to truly unite
with any and all to pray for your plight
So to all of you I make my request
to please pray for these that they might be blessed:

A father who's healing from surgery
A friend suffering from self-injury
For these intentions and for many more
of Thee O Lord we do seek to implore

Amen
