Olivia

Dear child I know we never met I’ve never seen your smile. But God asked me to pray for you for just a little while. I got the news just late today last night was when you left. One week was all I had to give before your final breath. The Comforter I sent to you several times a day. I urged He go with healing hand each time that I would pray. His Spirit pressed into my soul a child I never knew. From pools beneath my folded hands my tears He brought to you. He said with faith, His pleasure found my faith not strong enough. But from my prayers for you, dear child I found a strength of love. Olivia, I fear I failed dear child of only eight. And now you walk on streets of gold beyond a pearly gate. I have a void I cannot fill. Love found on bended knee. I ask while walking there with God if you could pray for me. I love a child I never met Nor have I seen her smile. But God asked me to wait for her for just a little while.
