: Poet's Prayer by Gypsy Blue Rose


 
 
God hear my prayer
the prayer of my  heart
 
you never judge
what dwells in my thoughts


you hear my mind's 
lightning and thunder
and you quiet my storms


bless my spirit
where you abide

bless my pens and paper
bless the words I write


may they be beautiful
in your sight


may they be seen
by people not yet born


and when I 'm dust
may my children 
say these words

"she was a voice
for the unheard
 
and art was the language
of her soul"
