Note, I often set the timer on my watch to allow myself five minutes to write a prayer to God.  Under that  limitation I have no time to worry about rhyme or meter, I can only speak my heart. I often do not share these little prayers as they tend to be corny and cheesy and very personal. However, I did share this with a friend who said she was blessed by it. So I figured, what the fat. If you get by the corn and cheese maybe you will be blessed.

 

MY FIVE MINUTE PRAYER

 

I saw the sun break through the night

Bringing me a new morning,

I thought of you Precious Lord and

It sent my sad heart soaring.

 

I heard a song of praise

From a little bird on a wire

Singing it over and over

To his little heart’s desire.

 

A beautiful gray squirrel twitched his nose

As he ran up to me

And then he danced

Right there for me to see

 

In all its beauty and glory

I saw your creation take its delight

Showing and proving to me

That you always do everything right.

 

And then I saw a little baby in the cold rain

He was carried by a young and loving mother.

She cuddled and protected him from the morning chill

As if there existed none other

 

My heart and soul were quickened

When I saw her smile to him in love

For I recognized that smile

I just received the same from above
