Shared with some ink
Hastily written
Not much time to think.
A brief, upbeat message
A description or two
Not room for much writing
Just a few lines will do.
A thought here and there
No real message shared
A bit of a gesture
To say someone cared.
Some prayers are like postcards
With quick, choppy words
Brief little messages
That we hope will be heard.
A glimpse of our life
Shared with some words
Hastily spoken
Hope they don't sound absurd.
A brief, upbeat message
A request or two
Not time for much praising
Or a heart-felt 'thank you'.
An occasional blessing
No real thoughts expressed
A bit of a gesture
Before getting some rest.
Postcards are fine
But they're not like love letters.
And those quick spurts of prayer -
Doesn't God deserve better?
'Postcard prayers' are fine
In a pinch now and then
But God prefers a prayer
That takes some time to send.
