A Mother's Prayer

You went from my womb to my heart

So it's as if you never left.

Yet, I mourn what I can't touch

For they took your very breath.

In silence I wonder

And I grieve what might have been

I long to hold you and to kiss you

So you can feel my love from within

I begged GOD for HIS forgiveness

Yet, I know you`re in HIS loving hands

I pray that I'll know you one day in Heaven And my decision you'll understand

I wasn't able to offer you

A life where you could thrive

The thought of having you live with pain Only ate me up inside

Angels were better suited

To take you under their wings

And bring you to a place

Where you can laugh and play and sing

Do I have the right to ask of you

A prayer I hope you'll heed?

Help GOD look after your darling brothers And fulfill their every need.

When my time here on earth is through

And no longer will we be parted

I pray that you'll receive me too

So we can pick up where we started.

Forever in my heart,

Mommy
