A simple prayer

A simple prayer

 

Dear Lord, yes it’s me again,

Sorry to bother you with my pain,

I know your busy and work so hard,

But I need you to listen, to my bard,

Just a little favour is all I ask,

From you a small but mighty task,

I ask you this with all my soul,

In my life now it’s my only goal,

I’ve never asked from you before,

I promise I won’t ask anymore,

But could you take a little time,

To read and reply to this rhyme,

I’m at your mercy for all to see,

Just how much this means to me,

I know it won’t mean much to some,

But please dear lord, fix my mum.
