My Psalm

One who cares deeply
     has asked me to pray.
I count it as privilege
     to do so today.

This weeks list is long,
     prayers for many in need
of His blessings in life,
     some hang by a reed.

Hey! God! It's me
     You've not spoken to,
of things that I see
     You're not tending to.

His way's not been mine
     yet I'm sure that He's pained
to see so much sorrow,
     lives brutally strained.

Oh I wish He would answer
     each prayer in its turn,
but eye-to-eye vision
     I have yet to learn.
