Two prayers

two prayers we lift up

most often, when we are honest

thinking first of ourselves

then others, in their season

praying, “help me, help me, help me”,

when we are despairing

praying, “thank you, thank you, thank you”,

when something goes our way

too often this is the ending

nothing else within our prayers

not thinking of any others

not listening in prayer.
