I Said a Prayer for You Today

Poem1 min read

— Author Unknown  

I said a prayer for you today,

And know God must have heard.

I felt the answer in my heart

Although He spoke no word.

I didn’t ask for wealth or fame,

I knew you wouldn’t mind.

I asked Him to send treasures

Of a far more lasting kind.

I asked that He’d be near you

At the start of each new day,

To grant you health and blessings

And friends to share your way.

I asked for happiness for you

In all things great and small,

But it was for His loving care

I prayed the most of all.
