Praying Up

Praying up a cloud
to shield you
from noonday fire.

Praying up a gentle rain
to slake your painful thirst.

Praying up a quilt
to comfort your deepest ache.

Praying up hope and grace
to wrap your broken heart.

Praying up memories
to reminisce with stories of love.

Praying up a handkerchief
to dry the river of tears.

Praying up anything but a storm
to hold you from now
'til the end of your years.
