My Prayer
Today my mind was filled with sad layers
As I listened to friends in need of some prayers
Some I have known for quite a long while
The others I know had lost their bright smiles
Troubles and sorrow have found their way in
Unwanted, and hidden from all of their kin
Their burdens so heavy no more can they take
It's time now to pray so their peace they can make
I want them to know that I'll pray every day
For return of their freedom from problems that weigh
God can deliver that which is asked
If it’s only an answer or even a task
I’ll quietly listen and do what I can
Helping to uplift my friends’ weakened hands
Wings of an Angel
She has left us behind on this saddest of days
Her suffering is gone and she's found the way
Gates above earth have opened up wide
To welcome this beautiful angel inside
The world has watched and fervently prayed
As her husband shared with us her very last days
We fell in love with this family of faith
Praying for peace and comfort to grace
Joey and Rory: an example of love
We’ll always remember her now up above
Her last wishes granted by those at her side
Emotions were shared with nowhere to hide
She's finally rejoicing and singing again
Heaven’s great chorus of angelic hymns
