A Prayer Missed
Thursday, July 5th, 2007
I was too busy today…
I forgot to pray.
I had to get up early.
I had to get myself ready for the day.
I ran from one task to the next
Trying so hard to keep my cool
I kept thinking, as I rushed here and there
Am I such a fool?
I couldn’t stop myself
I had a ton of work to do
Why can’t I just sit down?
Maybe for a moment, utter a prayer or two?
But there were copies to be made
And there were notes to be sent
So I rushed once again
And time just swiftly went
I was so tired at the end of the day
I felt miserable; not a thing went my way.
Why does everything seem so empty and gray?
All I did, was simply forget to pray…

Most often, what we think may not be that important, can make all the difference in our way of life. Prayer is much like a lifeline and in a sense, it is like a breath of much needed fresh air. It is for us to “do” and keep in our hearts and minds. A prayer a day, helps keep the “gloom” away.

yes, while we keep everything in order and forget to pray at the end of the day still it feels empty some important thing is missing we go far look far and what we do not know or hate to know and sometimes do is a little but solemn “prayer” that can make everything lighter.
