A Beautiful Poem

The following poem has been one of my favorites for many years.  Beautiful, true, and inspiring!

"More Things Are Wrought by Prayer"

More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of.
Wherefore let thy voice 
Rise like a fountain for me night and day.

For what are men better than sheep or goats,
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer,
Both for themselves and those that call them friend.

For so the whole round earth is every way
Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.

~by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
