I’m way down here!

You’re way there!

Are you sure you can hear my faint, faltering prayer?

For I’m so unsure of just how to pray…

To tell you the truth God,

I don’t know what to say…

I just know that am lonely and vaguely disturbed…

Bewildered and restless,

Confused and perturbed…

And they tell me that prayer helps to quiet the mind

 And to unburden the heart,

For in stillness we find a newborn assurance

That someone does care

And someone does answer

Each small sincere prayer
