for Mary Havenga
How she became
one of the best
pray-ers of prayers:
She offered words of comfort
to those in sorrow or need.
A message of hope to those discouraged.
She prayed with naturalness,
like Jesus was giving her
the words to say.
She found the right words,
spoken with sincerity,
and people listened intently.
Friends she prayed for
felt a calming peace.
A restfulness in their souls.
And among the names
on her long prayer list,
some of her prayers were answered.
