Her Childs Last Prayer

Her Childs Last Prayer



Hello Mum 
I know it’s been so long
Since I spoke to you
All the years have passed between
I have grown up into a man
I hope I am a pride for you

I pray you are safe and sound
In the place where you have gone
I hope you have not forgotten your son
I still remember you

Hi Mum
Are you watching
Can you see me
Can you see that I am burning up inside
I have found the one thing I have searched for
All my life
This love is so consuming
I don’t know if I will survive
Without her by my side

Mother
I know that the time has gone
I know I have done
So many things wrong
If you can see me
Please remember your son
Mother won’t you help me 
Please

Hi Mum
Are you listening
In your perfect spirit
In your better world
I hope that you can hear me
I have no one else to turn to
Mother will you hear my prayer
Will it reach you
Sometime somewhere

Mother
Will you plead my case
To the written annals of fate
Can you ask them to change the lines
And make her mine
Will you stand with your shinning heart
Tell destiny we should not be apart
Mother
Will you plead for me
Mother please
Save me

Can you see I am burning up inside
The one thing I have searched for all my life
This love is so consuming
I don’t know how I will survive
Without her by my side

Hi Mum
Are you listening
You must know by now the life I lost
I am asking for just one recompense to the cost
Won’t you help wipe away the years of pain
Help me start again
Is there a drop of mercy in the eyes of God
And do those eyes believe in love
I know that you have seen them
I have no one else to turn to
Mother
This love is so consuming
I don’t know how I will survive
Without her by my side
She is the light
Beneath my sun
Mother please
Please
For the sake of love
Save your son

Jay Loveless June 11, 2009 at 11:39 AM Wow. Colin. Your Amazing. Your Heart. Your Soul. Your Words. Your Love. I Hope She Hears You. A Beautiful Person Like You Should Have That Love. I Lost Mine. The Love I Had That Was Just Like That. I Pray, For Both Our Sakes That You Do Not. Its Hell. Good Luck. Peace My Friend. Boo

Sharon Winter May 11, 2009 at 12:47 PM Wow, I think this is the third time I am crying today. Your mom hears, and I hope and pray your prayers are answered. You have so much love to give. Beautiful, so beautiful Colin. Love, Shar

Carolyn Devonshire May 10, 2009 at 12:40 PM I don't see how your mother could feel anything but pride. Forgiveness and support are part of a loving mother's nature. You certainly have a gift for evoking emotion, Colin. Beautifully written! Love, Carolyn
