Poem: A Prayer (of faith)

A Prayer
(of faith)

By: Joi Maree Flowers

Thank you Lord

For the hurt that will ease
For the tears that will dry
For the hope that stays held on to
Even when before me there is no clear sight
For the new days given where I will arise
From a bed where at any given time death's hand can strike
For the comfort felt after grief's leave
Over a loved one gone too soon for whom I weep
For the strength gained from my body that is weak
Lifted from my knees to stand on the ground which my feet will meet
For the Husband for whom I have prayed
And for the children born from my womb that some day I will meet

 

I claim it all in Your name

For tomorrow
And days after

Without knowing the day
Or hour
For when all this will come to be

But just having the faith in knowing
In it's chosen season
Your Will will be

As long as I continue to trust in You Father

Amen
