David Prays

King David toils in prayer.
Had vision been impaired that night
stumbling block out of sight.
Had I seen the brake light – Gods’ voice,
and made the harder choice,
in peace, I could rejoice. Death bell
chimes slowly, a grave knell
for innocence – rebellion’s curse,
a child. This father’s worst
anguish is done. Immersed in sweet
prayer, David finds retreat.
With God’s grace he will beat despair.

a Vietnamese form called luc bat.

About the Poet
Growing older with some pains and discomfort, graying hair, glasses, partial plate and hearing aids but with complete assurance of my eternal domain. Saved by choice by Gods free grace by Jesus life, death and resurrection. Born and bred in the Bluegrass State for 24 years, I crossed the Ohio River and became a Hoosier forever thereafter until that time God calls me to my heavenly home. Christian for fifty-five plus years. Church musician and SS teacher for most all of my Wednesdays and Sundays. Public school teacher for thirty-six school terms; retired with a class now of three grandchildren off and on during the week. Wife for half my life to the same superman. Mama to two unique sons. Mother-in-law to a fine daughter; Nana to one darling girl and two handsome guys. God has blessed me abundantly; thank you, Father. God quiets my hackles; God quickens my heart; God quells my hunger. Blessed be His holy name.
