Every day admit me <br />Please <br />Into the portal of the <br />Divine <br />Allow me to feel <br />The sublime majesty of life <br />To know <br />The sanctity of relationship <br />To touch <br />The beauty of Earth <br />Breathe into this poor undeserving frame <br />An immortal telling <br />A lasting consequence <br />Give me the power <br />To see <br />To believe <br />To dream <br />Forever. <br /> <br />(Previously published in Poetry Soul To Soul, Dec.2000)<br /><br />Laurence Overmire<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-prayer-for-the-dying/
