A Mother's Prayer

Dear Lord, hear my prayer, for my
heart is aching tonight-
My little girl has left us, and
she's walking toward your light.

I know her heart is frightened,
So please, hold her hand-
Send an angel to guide her through,
And help her understand.

She likes a little light on, Lord,
when she lays down to sleep-
And maybe a little teddy bear
that she can love and keep.

May your light from Heaven
encircle her in love-
And wrap her up in peace and joy,
that comes from up above.

Oh, how I'm going to miss her,
This little girl so sweet-
She talked often of her Jesus, and
how they would one day meet.

It came too soon for me, Oh,
It's so hard to let her go-
I am so lost without her, Lord, but
she's with you I know!

Take care of your newest angel,
I place her in your care-
Her little life was sad, but
I know she's happy there!

My tears are flowing--my heart aches--
Please oh Lord, help me-
To understand why she had to go, Oh
please just let me see!

Comfort us here on earth, as
we carry on day by day-
For we will miss her much more
than words can ever say.

I thank you for the five years
that you gave her to me-
The happy times we had with her-- such
a precious memory!

In sickness, Lord, she left this world,
but she will not suffer anymore-
For I know you healed her, the
moment she reached Heaven's door!

So hard to lose the ones we love. In the past two years I've lost 4 people close to me. I can share and identify with the pain in this poem. In the end we rely on our faith to sustain us and we keep the memories alive, for as long as we walk this earth. Absolutely beautiful.
Be well and be safe, always

Awful heart wrenching. this is a beautiful plea full of understanding and questioning at the same time. The words carried me through this nightmare to the final serene-like ending. Excellent. Liz

I like the rhyme, the heartfelt consideration of the poem. People can relate to this, whether they've experienced it or not. It is a skill to take something very personal and convert it into something everyone can relate to.
