Blue Moon

 

Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone,

Without a dream in my heart,

Without a love of my own.

 

Blue Moon, you know just what I was there for,

You heard me saying a prayer for,

Someone I could really care for.

 

And then there suddenly appeared before me,

The only one my arms would ever hold,

I heard someone whisper, "Please adore me."

And then I looked to the moon and it turned gold.

 

Blue Moon, now I'm no longer alone,

Without a dream in my heart,

Without a love of my own.

 

Tonight was a "blue moon", the second full moon in a month. It made me think of this song by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. And, it made me wonder...who would I really say a prayer for...someone I could really care for? And, to be honest with you, it wasn't anyone in the romantic sense. It was for the kids in the Upper West who have little or no hope. ..The kids that are disabled. Their parents don't know what specifically is wrong with their child because they cannot afford to go to a specialist. It is a great burden to the family and very time consuming. And, I pray for the "kids," the young ladies who have been raped or work in the sex industry just to have money for food to survive. And, I pray for those kids whose education is not "up to par" yet have to take the same exams as those in the same grade in some of the best public schools in the country. And, I pray for...you get the picture. 

So, this blue moon, please pray that these kids will no longer be alone. That they will know the love and hope of Jesus Christ. Pray that they can have hopes and dreams for their future. And, pray that they will give Christ the glory and pass it on.
