Prayer For The Sad Ones

For those we know about 

Because they talk to their therapist,

Because they hang out online,

Because they write songs.

For those who get help

Because they have asked,

Because they have community,

Because someone takes notice.

For those we don’t know about

Because they stay in their room, 

Because they push us away,

Because they make us laugh. 

For those who need help

Because they don’t ask,

Because they are ashamed,

Because no one knows.

For all these people and more,

We pray.

See them.  

See us. 

Amen.
