Prayer Rock
My daughter brought home a rock with this poem from school. I got a chuckle out of it, and was reminded once again that I, too, need improvement in this area.
Prayer Rock
I’m your little prayer rock,
And this is what I’ll do:
Just put me on your pillow
Until the day is through.
Then turn back the covers
And climb into your bed.
Whack! Your little prayer rock
Will hit you on the head.
And then you will remember
As the day is through,
To kneel and say your prayers
As you should want to do.
Then when you are finished
Just dump me on the floor.
I’ll stay there through the night
To remind you once more.
When you get up the next morning,
Clunk! You will stub your toe.
Now you will remember your morning prayer,
Before you decide to go.
Then put me back on your pillow
When your bed is made,
And your little prayer rock
Will continue in your aid.
Because your creator God
Cares and loves you so,
God wants you to remember
To pray each day, you know!
