My dearest Lord Jesus;
Love of my life;
more precious to me
than children or wife,

lend me your arms
for comfort so sweet.
Embrace your dear child
that cries at your feet.

Reach out your hands
to dry up my tears
and softly speak "peace";
calm the storms of my fears.

Weak and unable,
like a child in your care.
rock me so gently
in your bossom so fair.

For I am in need
of your love and protection
and i can find rest
in your arms of perfection.

This humble prayer would make a beautiful lullaby.  It's so rythmatic and calming.

son of man,

You have written a perfect analogy of our relationship with our Heavenly Father.  We are to be, pray, and believe like children in our relationship with Him.  I believe we are to look at children as our example of how our Faith in God should be.

God Bless You,

Bob <><

This would make a good song, and I really like the flow.
You have written well of the heart cry of so many. God is faithful to answer.
God Bless you.

This is so beautiful.  It touched me so deeply.  It's a wonderfully written prayer, and something to be very proud of.  I loved it.

Son of Man,
  This is such a tender loving, trusting, piece, truly showing appreciation to the Lord because of our lack of it and our need of Him.  Very Good!

No Better Place do I know
Than where Hearts knit as
one,
For in that grand
experience,
The Better ALL become.

God Bless us All!!!
