Ash's Joys

Just some sudden inspiration... well...

The prayer - Ash

It was a peaceful and quiet night,
The sounds of nature filled the place,
Then, the lights in the attic,
Of the lone little house in the distance,
Started to flicker, and came on,

The little boy stood in the attic,
He looked out of the window, into the sky,
And he saw a lone star,
Shining brightly, radiating light,
And he said a little prayer.

"Lord, I pray with my heart,
For a star in my life,
That will shine as brightly as,
That star in the night sky."
Then, he went to bed.

He went on with life,
Tried to do his best in everything,
He gained some, he lost some,
He was just contented with all he had,
But he forgot about the prayer he made.

Twenty years later, on a peaceful night,
He looked out of the window, into the sky,
And he saw a lone star,
Shining brightly, radiating light,
Then he remembered.

And he knew that the Lord,
Had answered his prayers,
But did not provide him with just a star,
But He provided him with three,
His wife, his son and his daughter.

Tears filled his eyes,
As he thanked the Lord.
Then he looked up again,
And saw not one, but four stars,
Shining brightly, radiating light.
