My heart just a little fragile boat <br />Filled with love and care so- <br />Unable to deliver what it holds. <br /> <br />Limited are my means and approach <br />But prayers have miraculous power <br />Let your love flow in my prayers. <br /> <br />I am a bird of small wings and limited flight <br />Let my prayers carry the message of peace <br />To the farthest shore searching for relief. <br /> <br />Bigger like that of Bar-tail godwit <br />Let my prayer make an arduous flight to <br />Bring solace to war torn land and blood thirsty sand. <br /> <br />My heart sadden and full of sorrow <br />To see the greed and hunger for power <br />Causing so much pain and suffering. <br /> <br />Indiscriminate bloodshed of young and old <br />In callous disregard for human life <br />Is there no way out of this strife? <br /> <br />I fold my hands in prayer and kneel <br />For peace to settle upon me as much <br />As upon all the hearts torn with grief. <br /> <br />7.28.2014<br /><br />Savita Tyagi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-prayer-for-peace-4/
