I have no comfort, to bring to you… No drum to start a song. No gift for innocence. I have never lost a child. Let me cry now. My most precious prayers, to our heavenly Lord, for every comfort, “You” will…need… I can bring you a pie, I will bake it from scratch. I will cut fresh flowers from, my angel’s garden patch. Above all the rest, I will kneel. I have no comfort, yet “its” here. An answer to “all” and “every”, fear. I will hug you and cry again. The truest fact, my heart will… Never stop, as I hope and pray I will never know… Loss, as I now know sorrow, in my deepest heart, for my friend, You.

To find a friend in need, We should start to speed; Find a friend, Until the end; We desire God and always agreed.

music to write a song, words that never go wrong... wonderful... tiny little flowers by the side of the road... Ann
