Hello salliemoffitt, and

Fantastic work! This poem is short but powerful as you write about a subject that is all to true. This piece IS rather like a prayer, it flows well because of that, and grammatics are good. The only thing I would suggest you do is to add another line to the second stanza so as to even the poem out, and make that stanza less distracting, unless you are following a particular form, in which case you did well.
