Prayers and Concerns

One woman gives thanks
for a first grandchild,
another  asks for prayers
for her sister, still others
need prayers for illness
One man says he will
undergo brain surgery,
while another gives thanks
for the attendant who takes
care of a woman trapped
in a contorted body
unable to do more than
utter loud sounds
Unsaid needs and prayers
fill the pews, overflow
into the aisles
Open our hearts to hear
silent needs here
Open our hearts to hear
cries for prayer
in our world
