a prayer for a friend.. using the Rondelet form
A Sinner’s Prayer On bended knees Father, all muse deserts the tongue. On bended knees trying to find words to please but the heart is still very young. It seems that words just come out wrong on bended knees. To form my hands with fingers pointing toward heaven… To form my hands and know Your vastness over lands… To know Your passion can leaven and know Your healing. Love’s heaven to form my hands. A sinner’s prayer to ask for Blessings…heal others. A sinner’s prayer… From the heart comes the face I wear with love for all my brothers, forgive my sins against others… A sinner’s prayer.

when we were little we said our prayers at night before getting into bed, at dinner table, for breakfast. now it's more in my heart as you say. Or when I see homeless , or a car on side of road. GREAT JOB ;}

Nicely done Janet. Sometimes it's hard to know what to say, especially when we know we have done wrong. Great job. God Bless, JB
