As You Can

By John Blase | December 27, 2013 |

My friend Brennan used to say

pray as you can, not as you should.

I’ve prayed as I ought for over forty years

now and I believe its time for a change.

Not because I’ve had enough but because

I’d like to believe there’s a little more to see

before the voices of the artificial wise

fully fence in the open range of grace.

So I’m gonna pray as I can, which we all

know means pray for what I want.

My will be done is interpreted differently

on the backside of forty than say on the

verge of twenty, or at least it should be.
