THE PRAYER WAY by R. ANNA MORRIS CLARK

First Line: MY FRIEND, I KNOW YOU ARE NOT NEAR
Last Line: UNTIL I KNEEL AND FOR YOU PRAY.
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP; GRIEF; PRAYER; SORROW; SADNESS;

My friend, I know you are not near,
Yet, strangely so, your voice I seem to hear.
It comes as through the falling rain,
Dripping with sorrow's sad refrain.

My heart gives answer to the tryst,
And tries to find you through the mist,
But vainly struggles on its way,
Until I kneel and for you pray.
