Thoughts and Prayers

Thoughts and Prayers This life can be hard and not very fair You are in our thoughts and specifically this prayer We store many memories to help keep us sane Recall them all often, they’ll help ease the pain Such a tragic loss has no rhythm or rhyme There are no magic words that will bring healing with time Chaos can ensue when life’s order is defiled There is no greater pain than the loss of a child A prayer will be sent with the next evening star May God heal your heart, each battle wound and scar This plea is for peace in the path set for you I pray that God’s light turns your black sky to blue 11-13-2021

I wrote it for my friend’s Mom. She is really struggling with the loss of her daughter.
