I said a prayer for God today

I said a prayer for God today
To comfort in His grief;
As we destroy this beloved Earth
Must cause His heart to weep.

As heedless children we behave
And destroy our only home.
The oceans rise, the land is parched,
And the forests burn and burn.

I said a prayer for God today
It seemed the thing to do;
When Earth is dead and gone away
Will God be lonely too?

  1. La poesía es muy difícil que se entienda completamente con el traductor, pero si lo que quieres decir ¡Y eso si que llega!

    1. Básicamente, creo que estamos destruyendo la Tierra, y esto debe hacer que Dios se duela. Por lo tanto, le dije una oración por él, en lugar de por él, porque a veces también debe necesitar consuelo.

      con gusto,

      Beth

  6. Lovely poem. But to whom are you praying? You can "talk to God today" but you cannot "pray FOR God today"...He's the One you are praying to. (I look forward to your reply) M <><.

    1. Oh yes, I did pray FOR God. We take all of our problems to him, but who ever prays for the heartach he must feel at what we do to the Earth and each other. I believe he needs a prayer. Thank you for asking.

      warmly,

      Beth

  7. Hello Beth,
    I am praying this finds you well and the same for all you love. Thank you for the poem, I'm sure at the time of writing you had no idea of the future events that are unfolding.
    Your talent still amazes me. Such skilled hands to create such beautiful creations. Your "Feel Better Friends" are a wonderful way to share your love and talent.
    Yes, we must all pray for God.
    May God always watch over and bless you and yours.
    til next time
