Pray

Sometimes I look at my nephew and I want to pray.

I am not religious at all by nature, but I want to pray.

I look at him and tears fill my eyes and I want to pray.

I don't even know what to ask for but I want to pray.

I can get as far as Dear God, and then I don't know what to say.

It's more of a wordless hope, a wish fulfillment, a please let there be something in his eyes that
all is not lost and he knows us and that we love him and that we will help in any way.
