You Prayed

You Prayed
By Larry Linville

My burden was heavy.
Grew heavier each day.
I was feeling alone
but then you knelt to pray.

I knew not you had done it
when I had no where to turn.
I was feeling helpless,
my heart about to burn.

God knew you were praying
although I never did.
But my bucket of pain
had just released its lid.

My burden was lifted
and still it is today
because you took the time
to take a knee and pray.
