The Prayer Stool

I leave aside my shoes - my ambition
undo my watch - my timetable
take off my glasses - my views
unclip my pen - my work
put down my keys - my security
To be alone with You
The only true God

After being with You
I take up my shoes - to walk in Your ways
strap on my watch - to live in Your time
put on my glasses - to look at Your world
clip on my pen - to write up Your thoughts
pick up my keys - to open Your doors .

Canon Graham Kings.
