My Prayer Poem by B. V. Dahlen

From earth it traveled heavenward,
On wings so swift and true.
It didn't pause a second.
It had a job to do.

It traveled on a path so straight,
It's destination known.
It had to reach the ear of God
Upon His mighty throne.

I sent it on that journey.
I sent it on it's way.
I knew that help was needed here.
I sent that prayer today.

My heart was filled with anxious thoughts
That only He could calm.
I asked Him for His blessed help.
I asked without a qualm.

'A friend of mine's in trouble, Lord.'
'I'm pleading for your aid.'
'This prayer's my only messenger.'
'We need your help, ' I prayed.

'For only You can make things right.'
'Please show us that You care,
And swiftly send Your healing grace
In answer to this prayer'
