It began with a simple prayer

It began with just a simple prayer....

Asking God for some guidance, and to clear the air....

I didn't expect much from that simple prayer....
Maybe a little help so my struggles I could bear...

I left the house, and went on my way...
I felt the warmth on my face and thought 

"Thank you God for this beautiful day".

I never expected anything to really happen...
Yet when I saw her on the ground, my heart started tappen.

I got out to help, as I would hope many would do...
But as I looked around, there weren't even a few!

I rushed to her side, and asked if she were alright.
She nodded, slightly in pain, her back feeling tight.

I helped her up, and brushed off the dust...
She felt as if her whole body had turned to rust!

She explained what had happened, just a few months ago

her back needed some work, and she wasn't quite herself...
I thought surely, she had to find it on that aged shelf.

She thanked me for listening, and went on her way...
I was so touched, I didn't know what to say...

It began with a simple prayer....
Something I used to treat very unfair...
