One hour : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : blue-rose


One hour of your life

Would you spend one hour

Or a day

Of your life to be free?

Free of hatred, jealousy

To know your soul is in the right place

Would you spend one day thinking, praying

A month, or a year

How many one hour a days prayers

Do you think it takes to be in good graces

Is it a minute of prayer a day

Or is it an hour, or all day?

Is it months or prayer, or does it take a year

To have a prayer answered

If you knew it was one hour a day alone

Would you spend it in contemplation

Not speaking to others, turn off the TV

Can you stay off the telephone for one day?

Or are you wired to machines everyday all day?

Not giving thought to something beyond you

Do you pray for others

Is it always you?

You pray for

Or do you pray at all

Then expect your prayers to be answered

When you are in need

Did you know you don’t need to pray

If you learn to spend one hour a day

Just thinking, contemplating

Then that one hour turns

To a moment, to moment

an existence with God in your mind

And you don’t have to read the bible anymore

Once you get it, you have an existence

Of every hour in the spirit of God

Then each prayer gets answered

You can’t expect it in an hour

Or sometimes a day, or a month

Or a year

Because some prayers are unanswered for a reason

And the reason is you never spent that hour

Not one day
