A Simple Prayer

Help me Lord, to lose all the things about me that is not like you,
Help me to seek only the good and only the true.

Help me Lord to see how you see,
Not glory, not burdens, Lord not even me.

Help me Lord to think like you think,
Look to the world and I will surely sink.

Help me Lord to feel how you feel,
To know the better of illusion and real.

Help me Lord for you know what I need,
I see it in you words and the blood that you bleed.

Help me Lord to weep as you weep,
For every soul that is asleep.

Help me Lord to love as you love,
With the strength of a lion and gentle as a dove.

Help me Lord to know what you know,
To guide me on this journey I go.

Help me Lord to stay as you stay,
You will not forsake me in any way.

Help me Lord to do as you do,
Is my daily prayer until I see you.

A beautiful and powerful prayer of surrendering to the Lord.
It rhymed and flowed quite well,to me.I loved it.

Lovely, lovely sentiments. To make it even more pleasing, even out the line lengths and meter--your rhymes are apt and true. Very nice.

This reads well and has a good sound to when read aloud. Nicely done and powerful.

This is just as you call it, simply beautiful. It's clear, concise, reads beautifully. I wish I could write this well. I hope this is a winner in the contest. God bless.

2 things: meter, or rhythm of the poem, which has already been mentioned, and a grammatical error in the first two lines- I'm pretty sure that "is" should be "are".

This is a good start, and I mean that.
