I came home from Wednesday night church
To realize that God was waiting for me.
He sent me the message through my mom
When she told me to take out the dog.
I bent over to hook him to his leash,
Then looked up.
The night sky was beautiful.
So clear,
So full of stars.
Things seemed so perfect,
Too bad they weren't.
Instead of thinking about the problems,
I focused on the Heavens above,
And prayed...
For the good things to keep happening,
For the bad to work out,
For evil to find good,
And the happy to stay that way.
I saw a plane,
It made me think of the September 11 attacks,
And I prayed for the victim's families,
And the firefighters,
God Bless them all.
I asked God to bless everyone I love,
All who love me,
And everyone inbetween.
I prayed for family,
And friends who helped me throught hard times.
The friends who made me laugh,
The people who made me cry,
The people who ignore me,
And the people who stop me to say hi
Were all in my prayers
That beautiful, starry night.
