A Prayer for Someone

I said a prayer for you today and know God must have heard,
I felt the answer in my heart although He spoke no word!
I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I knew he wouldn't mind) –
I asked him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that he'd be near you at the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings and your friends to share your way!
I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small –
But it was for His loving care that I prayed the most of all.
