A Little Prayer

If you’re up there listening, whomever, whatever you are

I’m earnest in my search for truth

I don’t believe in the religious boxes of man

I believe in doing all I can

To be truthful

To be good to myself and others

and prayer as a construct left me for a while

but the lines of communication are always open

every thought moving between me and thee

whomever, whatever you are.

Look out for the smallest, the weakest, the different.

Look out for the victims of the bullies, no matter what clothing they wear or insignia is attached to their breasts.

Protect the unprotected

love the unloved

stand for the fallen

speak up for the hearts true, tilt things in their favor.

From one who doesn’t pray much or often but speaks out constantly

hear this little prayer

for all of us

to you.
