| Category - Children | | A Poem from the The Heartbeat of One Drum Collection | | The Child and the Innocent - Viewed 436 Times | David Devaney

June 23, 2008 |
To pray is most important now
Of all the things we do
For friends and neighbors, everyone
We find here passing through
Yet few do understand this gift
Of conversations made
With God, the Angels and the Saints
Who from our vision fade
At first we were most innocent
And nightly learned to pray
We thanked our Angel Guardian
For sharing each new day
We asked and too we would implore
For guidance, strength and love
Not worried bout the answers that
The Lord sent from above
But then it came most suddenly
As we did quick mature
The prayers we said most every day
We simply would ignore
Not hearing any answers
To questions never asked
The child and the innocent
Were by our youth now masked
T’was then we lingered by ourselves
Unsure of why we strayed
We never could remember too
Exactly how we prayed
Then suddenly as age appeared
So too came fear and woe
As once again did God now seem
To in us better flow
Then we returned to innocence
From whence we first had come
The rhythmic sound of blessings shared
The heartbeat of one drum | | © 2008 David Devaney |
