Dear God, As these hearts, ailed with sadness Look for reasons in the dark Turn their loss to hope and gladness When to your light, lost love embarks. Finding peaceful rest beside you Is our prayer this soul will find Into your arms with joy to cling to From pain and sorrow left behind. Tis but a whisper of your goodness That offers all that seek a home Forever promised in its pureness Null of fear to ever roam. Pray, we someday see the reason Not for them but we who wait That when it becomes our season We will not pine to meet our fate. Treasured love who’s gone before, Be at peace forever more… Prayer Contest Sponsored by Eve Roper Love Gone Before© 08/17/2016
