My Daughter
Prayer
Pray surrounds me wherever I go
It’s like a small child that tugs at my skirt
Demanding care with words that caress and assure
Pulling and wrapping itself around my legs
So I can’t take a step without looking down….
Prayer surrounds me where ever I go
So pick up the child nestling it close to my heart
Knowing that through the intimacy of love, we will never be apart.
About this poem
Pondering the love of God and he acknowledging that I am his and he is mine….
