This past weekend, I ran into some friends that I had not seen since college. We didn’t have a lot of time together, but we tried to catch up as best we could in the short time that we had. Seeing them reminded me of a poem that I had written for them. I did not drive when I was in college, so they gave me rides to church, and sometimes to the store or other errands. I did not have money to buy them a “Thank You” gift, but I could pray for them and their family daily. The following is the poem I wrote them to let them know that I was praying for them.
I PRAYED FOR YOU TODAY
When you’re feeling down
And wearing a big frown
Remember as you see the sun’s first ray
I prayed for you today
When the day is rough and long
And you don’t know where you belong
Remember as you go on your way
I prayed for you today
When through trials you must go
And life seems to go too slow
Remember before your complaints you say
I prayed for you today
May your life with happiness and love be filled
And may things work out as God has willed
But always remember when things look gray
I’m praying for you today
