Prayer--By Neena Singh--India

Prayer 

There are a thousand ways to pray
Visiting temples is not the only way

The little bird that sings so sweet
Praises God for the day to greet
The small brook that flows alone
Crossing hurdles of weed and stone
Says a prayer in its gurgling tone ~
The tree which raises arms to the sky
Is grateful for its fruits on high
I breathe this air so pure and now
In thankfulness for life I bow

The hands that pray 
Are blessed I see
Yet those that serve
More blessed by Thee
