A Prayer


Dear God, Why?
I'm not ready to be a motherless child,
and I need a host of angels to help me fly.
Fear of my mother's love lost,
leaves me broken and on the river, tossed.

God, It's not fair!
What did she do to deserve this pain?
And haven't I given you my share?
You took my Daddy just 2 weeks before.

This isn't happening to me,
and I refuse to believe.

God, You are Good.
But why must I suffer again with a loss?
And haven't I done all that I should?

As my pain comes out in a shout,
I spill my anger to the sky just to let it out.

God, I believe in You.
But why test me now?
You may want my mother, but I need her too.

I would give You all my gifts,
bargaining to keep my mother's tender kiss.

God, You are the Healer.
Please touch my mother,
and from me, don't steal her.

The darkness weighs heavy on me,
dragging my bleeding heart for all to see.

God, You are Love.
But I need Your angels now,
so send them from above.

As I shut myself away,
I need them to hear what I say.

God, hear my plea!
Surround me with Your angels,
just so I can believe.

Let them whisper gently to me,
opening my heart to understand and see.

God, You bring peace.
And I need to feel it,
as I grieve, needing a release.

Angels with wings of gold,
will hold me up, or so I've been told.

God, No!
I'm not ready to be a motherless child,
as You can see from the tears in my eye.

Angels sent from on high,
will give me the strength,
yet I need my mother,
by my side.

God, take this burden away.
For I'm not strong,
in spite of what others may say.

My mother needs my strength now,
and I need an angel to show me how.

Dear God, help me.
Don't allow me to shut myself off,
for then, angels I won't hear or see.

And I know they are there,
wanting to reach out and give me care.

Dear God, Why?
I'm not ready to be a motherless child,
and I need a host of angels to help me fly.
