Healing

Once I was very sick~
I then wrote about prayer,
it gave my life a real healing flair.

I got a phone call~
my dad was dying,
a poem came alive to heal my soul.

I lost my angel in a fur coat~
healing words hit the paper,
telling about her in all her glory.

Healing comes from above~
to heal the mind~body and soul,
ink and paper make a lasting scroll.
