Lord, look upon <br />The people of Japan, <br />Who’ve suffered ruin <br />Across their land. <br />Only You <br />Can make a way. <br />Provide their needs <br />Every day. <br /> <br />Food and shelter. <br />Blankets and water. <br />Restore the power <br />That’s out of order. <br />In light of so much <br />Suffering and pain. <br />Lord, please make <br />Their purpose plain. <br /> <br />For those enduring <br />A loved-one lost, <br />Help them, Father, <br />To bear the cost. <br />And those missing <br />Who’re to be found, <br />Preserve as rescuers <br />Scour grounds. <br /> <br />Cities ravished <br />By the quake, <br />And destroyed <br />In the tsunami‘s wake: <br />Sendai, Miyako, <br />Hatori, Keota— <br />Soma, Tokyo, <br />Hashimoto. <br />And all that aren't <br />Mentioned by name, <br />I pray for those <br />Just the same. <br />©<br /><br />Walterrean Salley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-prayer-for-japan-2/
