I whisper my prayers to Thee and look around
Worshippers graceful, excelling in duties abound
I glance at my stance and lo, what do I behold?
Tattered prayers deserving of more
Standing shy, I wonder if need to compete for Thine Bountiful Attention
Or wouldst I harbor some jealousy in seeking a court with Thou
Fear might I lose chance of being with Thou
Scattering thoughts in my mind, I wonder of a pleasant way to Ask of Thou
I beseech, my love is feeble
It needs Nourishing from Thou
My Beloved, I plead
To Keep me Close to Thou
For devoid of Thine Presence, my life would be amiss
A creation’s heart need no further than this
An admirer of Thou, I pray to be and more
Bestow Thine Favour and Pardon my injustices beyond and afore
