Softly Praying to God
Steven Bowman 1997 (Voorhees Township, NJ)
Once there was a teenager,
She wanted nobody's hate.
So she began doing prayer,
She wanted God for relate.
She's softly praying to God,
Thanking him night and day.
My Lord, can't she be begot?
Never overlooking all betray.
God, can't you please help me?
She prayed, his answer returns.
Lord, can't you hear all pleads?
As he never looked overturned.
Just as she began to say her pray,
She never wanted forever begged.
God shall be an answer, she'd say,
Heaven's angels, listen what's said.
