Humble prayer for the Sweetheart of the soup

How can I smile 

when my friend is ill

How can I not die inside me?

What kind of friend would I be

if I do not miss her?

But miss her I do,

Yesterday,I opened the card

She've sent me

I read it

Over and over again

Her words full of life

laughter and joy

Yesterday!

Yesterday is far away now

Today,only a memory

of her dulcet voice

I wonder if those 

are the last words

I ever got to read

or maybe

Maybe I wake up tomorrow

to realize her illness

was only a nightmare

a broken thought

in a lost desert

a terrible dream.

Here I am

On my knees I kneel

My faith is weak

Her faith the strongest

I ever seen

With her faith I turn to God

My only God

Cause who can console me?

and who will console you?

Who would know better

and who can do best?

My God!!Your God!! Her God!!

That same God

We call 'Our Father in Heaven'

The God who  knew your name

 The God who knew my name

That God who knew her name

before We were even born

The God who engraved Our name

on his own palm

The God who knew

 each happiness,every pain

The God who gave us life.


My dear God 
I come to you in prayer
I thankyou for blessing us
with our special Linda Marie
and kindly ask You
If its your will
to lend her to us 
a little bit more
Amen






a little bit more.. Amen.
before even  born

    I say amen to that. And though she's out of danger now. I not only ask God for a little more but for a lot.
