A Prayer

a prayer is the sound of the soul
whispering your plea for help to God
a prayer is a golden thread
made by the creators robe


it is the core of who you are
to hold onto to feel and sometimes to pull
to draw you closer ever closer
to the fabric of your soul


a prayer is you talking to God
from the closet deep within
that place that holds your truth
and the precious secrets of the heart
from the that God knows and can impart


a prayer is your Hail Mary
your reaching when all else fails
your cry to the Mother and Father
to see them face to face


a prayer is your very being
your beginning and your end
until you find the answer
that reveals what we need
when it's no longer possible to pretend


a prayer is your deepest connection
a soul to soul conversation to speak
a hope to maybe recover
what it is you seek


and is it a one way conversation
do you listen and do you even hear
the answers that are waiting
for you to discover that appear


do you know when prayers are answered
that there was the miracle of grace
that God is really listening
to the prayers of the human race


and do you give back thanks
and recognize that yes indeed
your prayers are you speaking
to the closest friend you need


speak your prayers to God
and recognize that He Hears
take the time to talk to God and to listen too
for when you need Him he is there
