Praying Older And Lazier Poem by Ima Ryma

Praying Older And Lazier



From early childhood I was taught
By the grownups on how to pray.
Be in a kneeling, yes I ought,
To prove I'm in a humble way.
Then to pray for God's will, not mine,
Which, old now, is hard for me still,
Cuz oft I think I am divine,
Convinced that what I want's God's will.
Now arthritic, it's pain for me,
So I do skip the part about
Supposed to pray on bended knee.
Lazy, I keep prayer short, no doubt.

Please help me God to think and do
What's good, if I succeed, thank You.
