My prayer to the one



My only prayer to the ONE is this,
Bring back the times of holiness and bliss.

The times when swear was meant to trust
Ones character was worth more than gold dust.

When Air was fresh and waters pure
No one slept hungry of that I'm sure.

When hearts had rooms bigger than home,
No one was left saddened alone

All were rich and no one's poor
When laughter was the only cure

Could hear the songs of birds all day
At night before sleep we all would pray

To thee that we may never fight
To tell the difference between wrong and right

When pride was worth not a penny more
Help would come from door to door.

When love was in the air you know,
A man would ask for her hand with a bow

Children played in the fields without worries
Every moment spent were worth childhood memories

When nature was the Mother for all
You learned to stand up for every fall.

Honesty was then the only policy they say
Truth always triumphed come what may

Days of the glory, greatness in every deeds
When hunger was for food but never for greed.

Those times have passed will never come back
We have everything now but the very soul we lack

My only prayer to the ONE is this,
Bring back the times of holiness and bliss.
