MY PRAYER, by                    
First Line: I pray my soul may be a vital one
Last Line: And straight, as crowded pines in forests do.
Subject(s): Prayer; Religion; Theology


I pray my soul may be a vital one,
That radiates its strength as summer sun;
As simple as the thirsty, growing grain
Which lifts its trusting heart to heaven for rain;
As restful, to way-farers, as the rills
That ripple down the canyons from the hills;
And may it grow, though cramped for room, as true
And straight, as crowded pines in forests do.
