This is a very special piece and it is full of special thoughts. We must all remember to think of those who need our prayers. There is so much strife and turmoil in the world that we live in yet we are commanded to love our neighbors as ourselves, this involves our imagining ourselves in their situations.
"Do on to others as we want them to do to us."
This total layout is beautiful. This piece is a work of art...

Comment from Nikki-Nicole
'Today'- great title. I like it.
This is a very nice poem.
The wording is strong.
It takes a selfless person to think and pray for others. When I was a child, my grandmother would tell me to think of others before I said my prayers. I learned at an early age to not just ask God for things I wanted and needed but for others also.
Nice artwork: The image shown supports the poem.
Thanks for sharing your poetry.
Good luck with your future writing.

Comment from Hansel1
More spiritual than religious, I appreciated the beautiful sentiment you relayed. You are clearly a thoughtful individual, one who holds empathy in high regard. The world needs more people such as yourself. Regardless of your nationality, religion or sexual orientation, it is only through this accepting and compassionate frame of mind that the world can move towards peace and helping one another.
Thank you for sharing this message with us; it is easy to lose sight of. Please continue shining light on ALL OF US - your readers :) Cheers!

Comment from Hitcher
It is a rare thing these days friend, for someone to stop, pause , ponder and think of those less fortunate than they are, then find their knees and ask God to help, heal, bless and save them... Very nice!!

Comment from XGoneX
Hello,
This is a very touching and beautiful poem. Particularly this part touched me:
A weary soul is quite depressed
A small child abused and lonely
A loved one must be laid to rest...
More than often someone is struggling and we can't see the pain. Thank you for sharing such beautiful words and message.

thank you for sharing your prayerful poem which reminds us that we shouldn't only pray for ourselves, our wants, or our desires - we need to pray for our neighbors and be mindful of their suffering, as well as ours,
