Three Prayers
Hopes to the misfortunate

Part One:
Prayer of Jeremy Brooker

My lord,
My savior from the rotting and the dead,
Please heal my sickly Jeremy,
The soul that is found in his deathbed,

So sick he is,
Why the cigarette?
Please take the smoke from Jeremy's lungs,
And I beg you that his demise won't be met,

Jeremy,
He cannot perish today,
Please lord I ask you again,
Don't let him die this way,

My lord,
My savior from the rotting and the dead,
Please heal my sickly Jeremy,
The soul that is found in his deathbed,


Part Two:
Prayer of Heriberto Cruz-Asarco

My lord,
My protector from slender poverty,
Please help Heriberto,
His hard and demanding life cannot be,

So stressed he is,
Why can't he rest?
Please give the wealth to Heriberto's family,
And I know he is doing his best,

Heriberto,
His family so dreadfully poor,
Please lord I ask you again,
They cannot withstand much more,

My lord,
My protector from slender poverty,
Please help Heriberto,
His hard and demanding life cannot be,


Part Three:
Prayer of Marsha Stars

My lord,
My giver of life, love, and joy,
Please save little Marsha,
Baby girl without mother or toy,

So lost she is,
Shall I forgive?
Please give Marsha a new home,
And a life she will relive,

Marsha,
Baby girl living lost,
Please lord I ask you again,
Give her a promise with no fingers crossed,

My lord,
My giver of life, love, and joy,
Please save little Marsha,
Baby girl without mother or toy,
Three Prayers is a poem about three people who are in need of hope. Their names were changed for personally reasons, but the first letter of their first name is the real first letter of their first name.

J***** is a coworker of mine who smokes constantly, and everyday I grow even more worried... he is such a nice person, and I'm afraid he'll fall ill...

H*** is another co worker of mine who is trying to support his family, mother and brother. They are very poor, and H*** tries to make enough money to support them...

M***** is my cousin (25) that had bone cancer and survived. But sadly her mother died of cancer later in life. M***** was a young girl when her mother died...

Please remember how thankfully you are and cherish your health, lifestlye, and the people around you.
