Weighed Down

If anyone has time, for an added prayer,
I've another friend in deep, lowdown despair,
Hospitalized last night for emergency repair,
They've just moved her in, with the critical care.

"Trouble comes in threes," old folks would say,
And that I believed, in the yesteryear day.

But problems are hitting, triple times three,
And I refuse to lose ground, leastwise spiritually.

So I'll pray for you and you pray for me,
Perhaps, forcing destruction to flee in a plea.
