  • This 1921 essay/obituary of Mary White, written by her father, was required reading when I was in school.  It wasn't only for the grammar and writing style, but for the topic as well.  It was a unique look at the life of a young girl so many years ago.  I'm glad I had the chance to re...

A Simple Dialogue Prayer

  • A Simple Dialogue Prayer
    I

    I see the arrow of your prayer
    is pulled taught in your bow,
    ready to be let fly.

    Let it go then.
    Hold back no more the
    deep hope of your heart.

    Speak then! I wait.

    II

    Oh, if it were possible,
    I would shoot my words
    only at Your truth,

    But too many desires
    for far lesser things,
    have thrown off my aim.

    I am dulled by them.
    I have grown week.
    Help me, Master!

    I am lost and wish
    only to be found.
    Guide my steps, Lord,

    back into the Garden.
    Give me your grace
    That I might come home.

    III

    Come, then, My beloved.
    Keep your eyes on Me.
    You will never lose The Way.
