My Prayers

I prayed for our business to prosper,
It mushroomed only.

I prayed for a house and lot.
I’ve got an unfinished house and unpaid lot.

I prayed to win in a lottery,
It’s already two years of daily betting.

I prayed for daily subsistence,
Somebody always came to lend a hand.

I prayed for the education of my three children,
They stopped schooling.

Then I prayed for work abroad for my family,
Now I am in a distant brown land.

Thank you dear Lord, Sto Nino, Mama Mary &
Blessed Pedro Calungsod.
