WAITING, by                    
First Line: When eyes keep searching wearily
Last Line: Deep in a little prayer.
Subject(s): Prayer


When eyes keep searching wearily
For scenes that are not there,
I marvel that they fail to see
The beauty in a prayer.

When hearts cry out for solace
From those who do not care,
Why don't they stop and gather in
The courage of a prayer.

When minds are parched and withered
Unquenched by worldly fare,
I wonder why they won't drink in
The hope in every prayer.

For these things sorely needed
In moments of despair
Are hiding, if you seek them,
Deep in a little prayer.
