The sleepless nights shall cease
As we here at Passions kneel
To pray for a little angel
May your stress Martie appease

'Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is sadness
Let me bring you joy
Where there is injury only love.

It is in giving that we receive
And it is in pardoning
That we enter your kingdom
Lord pardon us for our mistakes
As we join hands in prayer
Together we ask you Lord
To bring back health and joy
To Martie's little baby'

Amen.

Daniel--thank you for this beautiful prayer...I must tell you that the baby is not mine...but the baby of a dear friend...I met her on the day she was born weighing 2 1/2 pounds and was profoundly moved when I touched her fragile life with my big finger...I wrote a poem about it called I Pray for Life...well, she developed an infection, she is only two weeks old, and fear held everyone close to her, so I reposted my poem and Mark said the prayer that escalated to such a wonderful Amen...she is better now, thank you...for your thoughts and your sweet heart.

To Martie,
Please pass on my love to your friend and give that little angel a shake of the hand for a great fight.
Our prayers have been answered.


Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love

Wonderful heart from you Daniel and I know now the power of prayer as you have heard from Martie on the baby's condition.  Your added prayer along with your sincere heart makes this poet glad to have met you here in Passions.  You penned this beautifully.
