Her Soulful Prayer
A friend of ours just passed away this year-
a special man within our senior set.
His daughter prayed to God that He may hear
her wish for signs her Dad- his Maker, met.
The service at the funeral was deep-
as holy scripts and soulful hymns were heard.
'Amazing Grace' brought tears, as some did weep;
the other song- its recognition, blurred.
This unique hymn was one her father chose-
to play when that time came to lift his soul,
with words and meaning that to him were close;
embracing death with peace- his final goal.
Then, at the grave, the Deacon ascertained,
he did not know that second hymn portrayed.
But, on the way, God's message was ordained!
That same hymn from his radio was played!
Our friend's dear daughter then believed for sure
that God had answered her lone, soulful plea!
"My Dad is with his Maker- blessed and pure;
God's message sent via this hymn, to me."
