WHEN PRAYER IS SIMPLY ENOUGH(Peter Sprenkeler)
I suppose it is of little surprisethat depression abounds,
When health and fortune begins to wane.
I suppose it is so commonly humanand understandable,
To feel dejected and bitterand of many things to complain.
One begins to look at what he can truly call his,
Yet at such a timedoesnt seem to amount to much.
The health is failinglittle else seems to matter,
One longs for some reassurance on which to clutch.
Life appears to be so barren and bleaka joyless dirge,
The melody of hope is just so hard to hear.
Just an eerie ever present awarenessI may be dying,
The days and sleepless nightsfilled with dread and fear.
I have enjoyed decades of good healthnow that has ended,
Life is a chilling maze of pain, uncertainty and doubt.
I may have ignored God during all of the good years,
But now unwellI turn to Himto help me find a way out.
Curious as to what a man will cling towhen life is threatened,
A drowning man will supposedly cling to a floating straw.
He will clutch on to anything that affords some hope,
Perhaps something that for years he chose to ignore.
And so it is with mein these days of dejection and misery,
The seas of my lifeare so troubled, stormy and rough.
Yet I find a great comfortin the calming realization,
That at this timeprayer to Himis simply enough.
