When I Fold My Hands To Pray And Meditate (12)
When I fold my hands to pray, before I go to sleep and rise;
I always see your glimpse of smile, and pray for you day and night.
Whatever you might do, wherever you may go, I've calls or not;
When I'm feeling despair and distract, I would have to deal with that.
When ever I am feeling blue, forgotten, Ignored and hurting;
It‘s no one to be blame, But it is my own pain I am dealing.
Just my simple and humble request, do not play for goodness sake;
Do not hurt me with bunch of lies, unfold the scene before my eyes.
Truth gain respect, and make other persons have room to improve self;
Lies is lie, it's a language of weak, for those who have coward self.
Before I lay to sleep, I'm taking time to pray and meditate;
Seeking a blessings for you through the week, to keep you sound and safe.
