Prayer for Those Unheard
By Irene Sharp

Lord, bless me with a listening mind.
Attune me to the smaller sounds, 
The whispered plea of loneliness, 
The whimper of an unloved child. 
The sad, the sick, the lost. 
All these Ignored, unheard by passersby. 
And use me, Lord, to meet their needs 
That I may, in a Christlike way, 
Reflect Thy love for them each day.
