A Motherless Child

Life wasn't suppose to turn out this way I still ask God why even up to this day How could he allow this to be The tears, the pain doesn't he see Imagine you were my first funeral that i had to attend How can one lose not only her mother but her very best friend I am grateful for the time we had But thinking of you still makes me sad There are to many bumps along this road sometimes i don't know how i can carry this load Pray, Pray, Pray is what you would say Ask God and he will help you find the way So give me the strength O Lord to stay strong Even when things are going wrong As I sit at your grave making sure the flowers are in place I ask God for one more time to see your beautiful face Although I don't see you I feel you are near Holding me tight taking away my fear There are times in a girl's life that only her mother could relate Not having you here during those moments are the times I hate I miss your laugh and your smile But I will always wonder why I am a motherless child

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
