Today at work I got a call from Tracy. One of her classmates from the Leadership Academy is going through trying times with his little girl who needs lot of medical attention. She mentioned that there is a benefit concert at a local club called Hi-tone for the little girl Anna and asked if we would be going. I don't know her, I met her dad Zach twice or thrice at different Academy gatherings.
But I am glad that we did. A little prayer can go a long way. There was huge turnout and the bands played beautifully. There was different emotion flowing and there were tear-jerking moments. Standing inside the crowded club, this is what I wrote in prayer for this girl
Tonight the hi-tone resonates
the hope of all wishers -
The music traverses and takes
our collective prayers.
May the spirit of this crowd
bring in a heavenly boon,
Let the little girl
be cured very soon.
We suffer, we feel the pain
Let not this effort go in vain.
As the music wanes into the night
Lord give her the courage to fight.
A day we each here will gladly give
But Lord let little Anna have a long life.
