The Bookend
by Kathleen Higham

Prayer is like a bookend
Standing firm on the shelf
The bookend props us up
When we cannot help our self.

I can see you in my mind
As words come to me today
Then poetry flows from my heart
Because this is how I pray.

Prayer is like a bookend
Especially if there is fear
Whisper that simplistic need
Feel God's presence near.

I have never felt alone
When from my heart, I seek
Even the smallest desire
He hears it when I speak.

Prayer is like a bookend
So I will surely pray for you
I was touched by your request
A direct line to God, that's true.

You were perfect on that day
When on your horse you sat
Asked Him for a little help
And He came, just like that.

Prayer is like a bookend
Close your eyes, see His face
He was riding by your side
When at last you won first place.
