Two Prayers
 
He was only 19
Bring him home
It’s my prayer to you
It’s the closure
Lord, hear my prayer.
 
He’s only 53
So much life left
Let him live
It’s my last request
Lord, hear my prayer.
 
Two prayers I ask
You see my tears
You feel my fears
Listen to my heart
Lord, hear my prayers.
 
Bring him home
To be buried with honor
Let him live
There’s so much yet to give
Lord, hear my prayers.

Heartfelt and very touching. I learned long ago that its all in Gods hands. He's the one to give and take life. Its not always easy to understand why things happen the way they do and sometimes I wonder how much misery a heart can stand. In the end , its he who makes the final call . All we can do is pray and somehow find the strength to go on and do the best we can for all concerned. Blessings to you and yours...Love,,,MaryGrace

If emotion alone could gain the attention of god, this would qualify. However, I doubt that emotion alone works. However, a good heart does... and yours certainly qualifies as that. This is extremely moving.
