Who Do You Pray To? Poem by Richard Jarboe

Before you make your move,
Hoping to improve,
Who do you pray to?

Before you give your speech,
With hope your words will reach,
Who do you pray to?

A prayer implies there's something bigger than you are,
More significant than wishing upon a star,
Beseeching you to get out of the way,
So higher powers enhance your display.

Before you hit the road,
In fear you might implode,
Who do you pray to?

Before you meet your maker,
You believe is Not a faker,
Who do you pray to?
