A Prayer Answered

A Prayer Answered I used to live in a bubble, fun filled and care free But now my life is similar to autumn leaves under an oak tree My daughter’s funeral music echoing from the brass band Heap by heap her grave is filled with sand “God how am I suppose too carry on?” Death is so final, my daughter is forever gone! She was so brave yet so small, If fighting could be measured, she would stand tall “God answer me, give me a sign!” “And please don’t tell me it would all be revealed in time” “My child why so angry, I answered you even before you asked. Seven years ago, you married a brown eyed girl I assigned to a task. She will be the pillow when you weep. Share your nightmares when you can’t sleep She will be your pillar of strength when you fall apart. Pick up the pieces and carry in her pocket your broken heart.”
