A Prayer

By: Melissa Susan Hensley

When my mother needed comfort,
And life seemed so unsure,
I got down on my knees,
And said a prayer for her.

When my friend lost his faith,
And turned to a life of sin,
I opened my heart to the Lord,
And said a prayer for him.

When your soul was lonely,
And there was nothing you could do,
I looked up to the heavens,
And said a prayer for you.

When my heart was broken,
And my whole world seemed empty,
I closed my tired eyes,
And said a prayer for me.

My mother found her comfort,
My friend found God's care,
You and I found each other,
All because I said a prayer.
