An Urgent Prayer For Linda-Marie

My poem is dedicated to Linda-Marie: The Sweetheart of Poetry Soup... it's my token of gratitude for her precious friendship and endless kindness. We thought she had disappeared without traces; it's not like her...her trails are made of pretty laces, but friends at Poetry Soup have missed for three weeks: a lovely lady with the friendliest smile and rosiest cheeks. The bad news hit me hard and made me cry desperately, losing something so useful to accomplish daily tasks as writing, or driving a car is a great tragedy; why did this happen to a good person such as Linda-Marie? Is God testing her faith, knowing that her heart is strong? I've been tested by Him in infinite ways and still praise His name! Another man would have shouted in anger and abandon Him as an irrational one has surely done to accuse Him of wrong! Hopefully, Linda-Marie will accept this tragedy and go on as usual without feeling helpless, lonely and forgotten by Him and all; we'll stand by her as He will...comforting her with prayers and loving thoughts, being assured that our effort will help her overcome painful days with little sun rays.
