Classic Poem

“More ships!” some cry; “more guns!”
“More fighters in the air!”
But, wise the king who adds,
“More prayer!”

Remember, angels use
This ancient thoroughfare;
So keep their highway clear—
More prayer!

One day will not suffice
To meet time's wear and tear,
Each hour of life must see
More prayer!

Again and yet again,
The scrolls of God declare:
“The deepest need of men—
“More prayer!”
