MY PRAYER, by                    
First Line: Dear lord, I pray for simple things
Last Line: Don't you?
Subject(s): Prayer


Dear Lord, I pray for simple things;
A song, a smile,
The joy of friendship true,
Friendship that warms my very soul
And thrills me through and through.

A sparkling stream where sunlight's caught
And flashed at me again like rippling laughter.

A bird on high in the clear blue sky,
A violet hid 'neath a stone.

My baby's little pattering feet
And his precious smile it is mine to greet.

A kitchen bright with dishes blue,
Someone's eyes that shine like the morning dew,
I pray for these simple things --
Don't you?
