I Pray

by Randi Mills

I bend my knees

They tremble when contemplating love

And I fall down in worship before you

Because I cannot support the weight of a gift

so large laid on my mind

I bow my head

To offermy neck in sacrifice to you

To symbolize my servant-hood and debt

Because you have every right to take my life

with one slice of the blade

I fold my hands

They become useless tools

Unoccupied by some meaningless task

Because I can do nothing with them save when

you move through me

I close my eyes

To black out the scenes

Of "real life" that play around me

Because I am easily distracted and you deserve

to be my sole focus
