Prayers
For
People
There are so many people that deserve prayer – friends, workers, heroines, heroes and more. In a world where human negativity is too often highlighted, it is great to know that most people are not only good, but deserve thanks for being who they are, and what they do.
Prayer for the Imprisoned
There are bars
Walls, padlocks
And closed doors –
A thousand ways
To contain a soul
It doesn’t need a place
Called HM Prison
To find oneself locked up
Law breaking
Relationships
Work
Earning a living
Marriage
Parents
Family
Partners
Illness
Drugs
Money
The list goes on
And on
Because I feel free now
Because I was imprisoned
My heart goes out to you
If I could touch you
And free you now
I would
And so I ask
In this moment
That we pray
Together
That you may
Find a way out
Even if it is simply
A freedom of mind
Of heart
Of spirit
Of soul
May you hold
The knowledge
In your deepest self
That one day
You will get the key
And walk free
And I promise you
When you do
That walk of freedom
Will make your heart sing
Whether you are
20 or 90 you will rejoice
And it will happen…
So may it be
