Abandoned Prayers

   This old unloved church

   that`s stood for many years

no more blessings given 

just many angel`s tears

dark drab furniture

with damp pealing paint

rows of decaying pews

hints of colour so feint

time, long since passed by

as faith has lost the day

books littler the wooden floor

there`s no one left to pray

sunlight streaming through

damaged windows behind

 sad and lonely dereliction

can play tricks on the mind

there`s no more love left here

for these sad old rotten chairs

only memories remains

just abandoned prayers
