An Ordinary Prayer

At first peek of the sun

With its promise of light

I praise the Lord

Of Goodness and Right

At last sight of dear Sol

With promise of rest

I thank my God

For the day that's the best

At first breath of the wind

With hope in its song

I praise the Lord

With bell, pipe, and gong

At last breath of the night

As consciousness drifts

I thank my God

Who sees and heals rifts

At first prayer from my lips

With love from a son

I praise the Lord

For all he has done

At last prayer from my tongue

With heart weary of strife

I thank my God

Who gave me my life

All through the day

With every choice

The Lord's at my side

And hears my voice

God bless,

>P<
