A Prayer For Mum

dear Lord

in you my mother did believe

so please forgive her for the day she had to leave

she did not mean to leave us behind

 but love and peace in her heart she needed to find

if she had explained then we may of been able to  understand

how she left us and our dad to take another mans hand

she did not mean to cause us heartache or pain

she just needed to feel happy once again

Lord we all make mistakes and sometimes we do what we have to do

but deep in her heart she still loved you

please show her your love and may she know your grace

and keep her safe in that special place until we can see her again face to face amen.   

 

 Sometimes life is hard and we all do what we have to do what is right at the time, we know 
we will see you again sometime. rest well and be at peace, we know you loved us even 
though you had to go your own way at that time.

Diane, by your act of forgiveness and standing in for your mom shows me you are a really fine person. And your prayers may be the turning point for your mom, Blessings, Ron
