To the Man Up Above:
26 March 2014
Though my words have been scattered
and my lips been tainted,
take her heart and lift it.
Take her mind and relieve it.
Take away her pain, not her life.
Don’t let her soul play hide and seek,
but rather hide her discretions and
seek her happiness.
It’s better life worth living then no
life at all.
Guide her to those quiet waters
and hold her hand through the darkness
like in the stories you wrote for me.
Now, can you write them for her?
Amen.
