SINCERITY, by                    
First Line: Dear god, I wonder if you heard
Last Line: That it was meant to be.
Subject(s): Prayer


Dear God, I wonder if you heard
The prayer I said tonight,
Beside a bath-tub, on my knees,
There in the candle light?

Perhaps I laughed a little bit
Even while I prayed,
And yet I didn't want to wait
For I was half afraid

I might forget to thank You for
Each little dimpled fist,
Two baby bodies, straight and strong,
And lips as soft as mist.

So if You heard a happy prayer
Over shouts of glee,
Accept, dear God, the grateful thanks,
That it was meant to be.
