Best Sort of Prayer
A man can pray anywhere,
not only on his knees.
Truckers do it on the road
and pilots do it in the sky.
Farmers sow their prayers in the ground
while teachers count theirs at attendance.
You catch my drift.
There’s no right way to pray
and no right place to do it.
A man’s life given in honesty,
along with integrity,
is the best sort of prayer.
