Poetry Corner – Be Sincere

Excuse me, I need to ask a question,

Can you tell me how to pray?

There must be a right way to start!

Yes, there is,

It must be sincere, and come from the heart!

Acknowledge to whom you are praying,

Who is your Father in heaven.

It also helps if you keep his word and laws,

Including day seven!

It must be a circus performance,

Where by, you put on an appearance of vanity,

Go somewhere quiet, where you are alone,

And present yourself with humility, before the heavenly throne.

Ask with dignity!

And remember, your needs are already known before you pray,

Make this something of great importance each day!

Unlike our human means of communication,

The line is always open to us,

We can ask with confidence without any fuss!

Please keep in mind, you are asking to be patient and still,

You are not making a demand!

Your request will be heard, there will be no doubt,

The answer will be done, at the fathers will.

I hope, I have answered your question today.

Now, it is up to you, to think.

About what you are going to say!
