prayer for you

"I pray for you, and yet I cannot frame
In words the thousand wishes of my heart.
It is a prayer only to speak your name
And think of you when we are far apart.
God has not need of words. He knows our love,
And though my lips are mute, I bow my head
And know He leans to listen from above,
And understand the things that are not said.
For love is prayer--and so prayers for you
Mount upward unto Him eternally--
They are not many, and they are not few,
All are as one that ever seems to be
Thus do I pray for you, and cannot say
When I begin, or when I cease, to pray."
~from All The Prayers of the Bible by Herbert Lockyer
