Ph: Prayer: A Prayer Of Thanks Poem by Brian Johnston
Ph: Prayer: A Prayer Of Thanks
My dear sweet friend, forever love,
My angel in this earthy frame,
Every breath I take is a prayer
Of thanks to God
For the fresh air that
Inhabits your lungs.
Now,
And now,
And now again,
A regular rhythm.
A new prayer of thanks
Rises up to heaven,
Pulsing like life's blood,
Like ground fog rising from the earth
To the infinite embrace of God's love.
Tendrils of our love,
Reaching out to embrace
Every one we love, EVERYONE!
Helping gravity
Hold the moon in its orbit,
And filling the night sky
With so many stars.
You and I, of all people,
Sharing the original creation,
Co-creators of all that beauty
With God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit!
What a divine mystery life is!

If you would like to give this poem a rating, please do so in a comment that is separate from your regular comment if you leave one. Many poets, including myself, have been experiencing visits from hard to identify PH members who like to damage other's poem's ratings with illegal multiple votes of 1.0 and make a mockery out of normal voting. You voting in a comment field helps me to protect your rating of my poem which they wish to destroy. I know that this is a bit of extra work for you, but believe me it is appreciated.
