Of Those Bereft of Lullabies


                                    God hears the broken

                                        Sees the tears

                                   Hearts broken pieces

                                     Across the years

                                       His Arms open

                                     To hold the cries

                                       Of those bereft

                                         Of lullabies

                                       Lead the lambs

                                     To meadows green

                                       To safety, joy

                                     And peace serene

                                     Lead them Father

                                   Please light their way

                                       Bless them Lord

                                        In Thy Name

                                           I pray



                                           Amen

Lovely poem turned to prayer; the rhyme is so natural, Bj. Babies need hugs and kisses (and songs) from adults in their life in order to grow emotionally. AND that need continues well into healthy spiritual growth inspired by our heavenly Father and Lord. Well-said thoughts.

Thank you Reason, yes, they really do, and you are right, we do need our Heavenly Abba to help us continue on in this journey of life! I will go and read some of His lullabies, Psalms would be a great one to bask in tonight <3 :)
