Say The Prayer
by Kathleen Higham

I opened my eyes to my surroundings
And it was becoming a nightmare
Rooms overflowing with hurting people
An atmosphere filled with despair

Haunted eyes stared back at me
Hearing cries and moans in the night
Nurses scurrying about and pressed
It seems some had lost the fight

I saw this man with vacant eyes
Sitting quietly with his wife
It seemed as if all hope was gone
Barely perceptible was her life

A prayer came fleetingly to my lips
But instead I just walked away
Left that poor man sitting there
When I should have stopped to pray

I had my own concerns that day
God knew the anxiety of my soul
But it screamed inside my head
A picture of a couple not whole

His partner was so very sick
The man was ready to cry
And yet I did absolutely nothing
Knowing that woman might die

Why did I walk away that day
I wanted God to comfort me
Crying out to Him constantly
But I did nothing you see

Oh but God answered my prayer
And I went back to that place
But I couldn't find that man
I still can see his face

So when our Father speaks to us
Let His Spirit take you there
God's loving Words from your lips
The unfailing gift of His Prayer

Now every time I go there
For that broken man I will look
Remembering God never failed me
His Words reach out from His Book

I hold my Bible in my hands
With a heart filled with regret
A prayer that waits in hopefulness
For a man that I never met
