When We Kneel To Pray

When We Kneel To Pray

Do we recall the little things
That often come our way
Do we stop to think on these
When we kneel to pray?

A stranger smiles as we go by
Or someone gives a wave
Are these memories that we save
For when we kneel to pray?

A little child looks at us
And asks if we'd like to play
Do we forget this little lad
When we kneel to pray?

A call from a friend saying
“ I am thinking of you today”
Do we remember to thank God
When we kneel to pray?

Time is drawing near
It will be Thanksgiving Day
Will we recall the little things
When we kneel to pray?

It’s nice and proper too
To thank God for His giving ways
But don’t forget the little things
When we kneel to pray.
