A Far Flung Prayer

Shirley A Mandel
I'm praying beyond
the starry sky, and
whispering past the planets
to speak to the very heart of God.

A prayer has gone up;
a prayer for peace,
a prayer for grace,
a prayer for grace
for one with bipolar disorder,
a prayer of thanksgiving.

Yes Lord,
a prayer has gone up.
Hear me, oh Lord.

For a prayer has gone up.
