Grant the constant happiness of being devoted.
To you , because it is full and lasting happiness.
We search for a light unclouded.
And for a greater tenderness.

I was trying to get to sleep, stop worrying.
And pray for the souls in purgatory waiting.
I started with my mother and father remembering.
And went through all the others, names recalling.

It’s amazing how much better I felt.
Thinking about others and not myself.
The heart started to melt.
As it contemplated another self.

I don’t know if it helped  a suffering soul.
But it certainly stopped me feeling low.

……

Praying for others
May or may not help others
But it does help us
