'When Did Prayer Begin? ' Poem by Linda Winchell

I wonder when prayer first began,
Was it something God always did?
Or was it said by first man?

And did they say it like I do,
As I lie down to sleep?
Or maybe said by a Shepard,
While tending to his sheep?

If God was always, and always is He,
Then where did prayers' go, before there was me?
Were they held in a room in Heaven somewhere?
Closed behind golden doors, with a sign that said, 'Prayers? '

I guess I won't know, the mystery to that,
Until I see God, where we'll sit and we'll chat!
