Analysis of I Pray for You



I pray that you stay healthy,
Avoiding each disease
And that a cold or allergy
Won't make you "ill at ease".

I pray that you stay safe each day
From every accident,
So you will never know the pain
From such an incident.

I also pray no crime finds you
Forever and a day,
Because I love you very much!
You're in my heart to stay!
