I Am Older

Now that I am older ,

I have realized that far from being a chore ,

Prayer can be like spending time with a beloved friend .

The need to say something 

Is often less important than simply being together .

I try to listen more than I talk 

And I revel in the joy of being with God .

God will listen to my prayers 

Any time regardless of what I have done in my past 

Or where I am on my spiritual journey .

All I have to do is show up , turn 

Out distractions and open my heart .

I know I am not always successful in listening to God ,

But I have learned that it is always worth the effort .
