Dispell the Illness

From skies above and see below
Let the illness begin to flow

Dissipate its fastened hand
Release its hold, diminish its brand

Restore that to which once was true
Heal the body, let it renew

Take away the hurt and pain
May it no longer hold its reign

With more blessed days and no health strife
Bring joyous times back to life

Increase the harmony I seek inside
And let healthiness safely abide

Wow. This reads like a psalm or prayer. I love the positive word choices and rhyme. This would be a great card. If you are battling illness I pray healing and healthy days years ahead. Blessings

Thank you! It was written for a friend battling cancer. Something to meditate on as he goes through his treatments. I hope others can find comfort through affirmations!
