My Child
I have failed in my duty as a parent.
You have fallen away.
What can I say now to the Lord,
as I am less ,
and left "marked" and wanting.
The depression of my heart thickens,
as I wonder not for the last time,
how "I" could have done better.
Chastised...
The power of prayer...
to change the world.
As I know that I want too,
but have no way of doing so.
My Lord you are everything to me.
The gift of raising our sunshine child,
has been an honor and glory to you!
I lift them up to you,
from the first day to the last.
I know that you will ever be there,
as you have ever been there.
You knew their name,
before I.
You heard the laughter,
and even saw the smile...
Long before I...
held my child, in my arms.
Please place your angels now...
around them.
Give them what you know,
they need.
What they lack.
What they have...
not prayed for!
As they,
will hear you,
I know.
As I,
have faith.
