I Prayed for You
I asked GOD one day, in my small, little voice,
"What does it matter, whatever the choice?"
So as the sun dazzled, the breeze softly said
"It only will matter just before you are dead."
And it shocked me to hear FATHER'S words, crystal clear.
But my spirit was listening when HE whispered "Don't fear.
"For you are MY child, and I have something in mind."
So I waited and wondered, and hoped HE'D be kind.
He said, "Daughter, I know that you've been so alone.
"And I know that you feel as if starting to drown.
"This gift, I will promise, will come when it's time.
" Just know that a rhythm will flow to your rhyme.
"But patience is key, I know it is hard.
"But also, I know the heart that you guard.
" And because I love you, and this love you emit,
"Do not despair, or think you should quit.
"As certain past trials have left you betrayed,
"There is someone I know that also has prayed."
And I looked to the heavens, with tears in my eyes.
"Oh child, know that I hear all your cries.
"You will no longer feel you are lost in a sea.
"There is another that has been calling to ME.
"And with love, and light, and friendship to start,
"One day this love will open his heart.
"He will see you with eyes he did not know that he had.
"And you will wonder how you ever felt bad.
"But you have to be strong and walk in your faith."
But I thought to myself, "I don't think I can wait."
HE smiled and suddenly I knew it was true.
Then all of a sudden, I was meeting you.
And even not knowing, that you were the gift,
Something inside me started to shift.
But I somehow forgot of that chat with my GOD.
And I began living where demons had trod.
I do not remember the exact time or place,
That I fell into step with HIS mercy and grace.
Throughout these years that we've been aligned,
It's simply amazing to me that I find
You in my thoughts as I sleep, when I wake.
No matter the distance, or the time it might take.
So I know, without question or doubt
That everything has a way and works out.
And I love you beyond what I'd hope it could be.
Because when I prayed for you, HE gave you to me.
