Analysis of Prayer and Poem

Robert Joseph Mattingly 1957 (Brookline, Massachusetts)



There isn't any day
Or any kind of time,
In Heaven why I pray,
Every day and write rhyme.

Others live day by day,
Here 24/7.
Way I live pray by pray,
When I get to Heaven.

A Poet with his Muse,
Actual one I am.
It is prayers that I use
To help don't give a damn.

What the other ones think,
If they do not believe,
Prayer and poem in ink;
For you Christ will receive.
