A Prayer For Amie

She comes to me her love confused
Alights my heart only to bruise
She knows not what her wants to be
And fails to see what she must flee.

Why does the lord not give her sight?
To take her absence through her flight
I’ll say a prayer for her and I
Though god may shake his head and sigh.

A snowdrop does in spring enflower
In morning dew and evening shower
To show though snow there is a way
If she would ask on knees and pray
