Simply

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 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.



I have had this framed in my room for as long as I can remember, but it was packed away when we moved into the new house. I just found it the other day and it has a new place on our fireplace mantel. I love it because it's a simple prayer that encompasses so many things and reminds me that the most important things aren't things!
