Prayer

Prayer
Sometimes we get caught up
In feeling eloquence is needed to pray
That our fluency in our expression
Might prove our aptness for a worthy prayer
Thinking somehow that God listens
To see if we have that flair.
And that otherwise God might not hear
The simple prayers we need to pray
If there isn’t an elegant flow of persuasiveness
In the words we choose to say.
But sometimes I’ve had an urgent matter
That I needed to speak to God about
And in my time of such distress
“Help” is the only word that would come out.
