Planting New Seeds

She cried Dear Lord,
I can't bury my son,
please help him see,
his life is coming undone.

Lead him to peace,
take control of his life,
Dear Father of mine,
he is all I have got.

I carried this child,
for nine hard months,
release his burden,
and the wrong he has done.

Let him rest,
in your strong, loving arms,
keep my son,
away from harm.

Bring to him light,
and a new way to live,
watch him grow,
as he learns how to give.

Thank you Dear Jesus,
You heard my plea,
and saved my son,
as you planted new seeds.

Hi Crisrty, your poem is almost my LIFE when I was a teen-ager. My parents kept on praying for my deliverance. Keep on praying. Ernilando

Christy when I was younger and a hell raiser, I didn't care how destructive my life was because I thought I was invincible. Too make a long story short the day my mom passed away I found a prayer she had wrote on a bookmark that was nearly word for word with this poem. Never, never stop praying, it may take awhile in my case a good while, but prayers work. I'm PROOF, Ron
