Prayer-Poems

I want to turn my prayer into a poem,
just as I wish to make my poem a prayer,
like prayer, a poem is there abroad or home,
recalled at any time or anywhere.

For prayer-poems sent to heaven He has time,
He loves the rhythm and the melody,
enjoys the sound and cadence of the rhyme,
and keeps it new for all eternity.

A poem demands the words be made succinct,
though we write many words, God’s never bored,
poetic license lets some rules be winked,
and God allows the winks for He is Lord.

I write, Lord, for an audience of One
in forms of praying poems that are more fun.
