I Uttered A Prayer Poem by Maia Padua

*a simple poem heartily dedicated to all my friends
and to Tina Benedicto and her friends (Taiwan)



I uttered a prayer today
I know God have heard
though He speak no word
His breeze touched me
let me feel His presence.

The soft wind is whistling
The rain is softly falling
Giving me His answer
His answer, I am happy to hear.

I never desire for wealth and fame
Not for earthly things that would make me lame
But asked Him to send precious gifts
That will be my treasure, friends
True friends, in my heart i will keep.

I prayed that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
And lots of good friends to share your way
Makes you laugh, share your joy and pains too.

I am a friend, to share a life
A life with dreams and aspirations
Together let us show
In faith and love in God, we will grow.

I am a friend,
Praying for you in everything you do
To ask God to protect you, wherever you go
I know your friends are doing this too.

In my simplest way, I just want you all to know
That I love and care for all of you.
