We Pray ( Muye's Sestina 3)

We call You with our begging voice
Be With us all time; give us good health.
Be with us in pain and in peace
Fill our body and our soul with sound life.
God, give us fitness, sight and happiness.
Your watchful eye be with us day and night.

Save our affairs throug the day and night.
We hymn Your grace in pen and voice.
Increase us useful wealth and happiness.
Keep our body and soul fully in health.
Give us a reasonable wealth in life,
Sound mind and an everlasting peace.

God, make us live in our society in peace.
Bestow your favour on us day and night.
That we may live, happy and decent life.
Give us power and mind and a true voice
Give our heart, body true health,
That we may live in perfect happiness.

Lord of Adam and Eve, give us happiness.
In our society that we may live in peace..
Cloth us with the garment of the health
Anywhere, anytime, day and night.
This we pray for everyday loud voice.
On it lies the bedrock of good life.

Show us, oh God the secret of good life,
So that we may reap of it's happiness.
This we ask you in silent and loud voice.
Give us peace, in our home, give us peace
In our office, everywhere and health
Every time, everyday and every night

Preserve us of our foes all day and night.
That they may not interfere in our life,
That we may live in and good health.
Lord, give us comfort and happiness
Give us peace of mind, give us all peace.
We pray with an undeeming voice.

With our voice,we pray for health,

That we may have peace and sound life
And happiness in our homes day and night.

Thanks
A. I. Muye.
