Silent Plea

I listened as she softly whispered her  plea,
"Dear Lord above, could you please help me?"
I could hear the growing desperation in her voice,
she felt so alone, like she had been left no choice.

In her eyes I could see the torment and so much pain,
her tears began to flow down, like the pouring of the rain.
In her soul there was a struggle, residing deep within,
once, just once, she wished that she could somehow win.

She sat in total silence, as her eyes searched into mine,
I offered words of comfort, to help ease her weary mind.
After a brief pause she slowly began to speak,
and with her next words, I could feel my heart grow weak.

I couldn't stop my tears, yes I began to cry;
as she said these words,  
"I hope that God let's me know love,
just once before I die."

Yes I think that one plea would bring tears to even the hardest of hearts.
