I know very few prayers...the Lord's Prayer is one of them (Serenity prayer another) due to those being taught through AA. (I attended as a child with my parents) I like that you felt you could change this and adjust it to fit your view. I've never thought about it, it always seemed like they were untouchable. It's a great thought that we can make prayers our own. Great poem Ray. Sincerely, mary
Good poem/prayer! I too reworked that prayer to more aptly fit how I felt. You made some good points that I might even incorporate into mine, since I say mine as a prayer every morning. Thanks for looking at and commenting on my poetry. Be Well, Emma
We should all paraphrase our prayers - to remember what is in them - and maybe to shine light on how we think about them. I have an Our Father that is like 40 lines long - it breaks up each little gem and explains what it means - if we really mean it.
