Our Lord, up in Heaven, we pray to thee. <br />For all blessings, that we all, feel and see, <br />Just thanking you seems never really, just. <br />For all the beauty, the life given from dust, <br />We always, seem so selfish, in what we ask. <br />We are never satisfied, asking for one little task. <br />Your love gave to us, for such a little return. <br />Constantly we ask, forgiveness, without discern. <br />Here is my prayer just for you my loving Lord. <br />That your glory in Heaven be rang out in accord. <br />That your honor and spirit is abundant on the land, <br />Your love and compassion grows lavishly grand. <br />That each of us, your children, learns complete respect. <br />Though we may be human with err, always suspect. <br />Our hearts should guide our minds, without anger in zest. <br />We should live by words given, by your only son’s bequest.<br /><br />cecil hickman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/his-prayer-2/
