Prayer is not to solve problems fast, But to merge oneself with the cosmos vast. When all is well, and there's nothing to fear, Not many pray for God to be near. When it's hard for one with life to cope, Who prays to God gets some hope. When we're alone with danger around, Then can the value of prayer be found. Prayer to God need not always be A meek, beseeching, helpless plea.
Prayer is a one-way mode to converse With the substratum of the universe.
