Prayers, and then Something Else I almost wrote of a loss, a breaking of my soul from the boy I once knew… who returned to my life I almost wrote of selfish, deep concern, some loss I thought I would know for it has visited me before But instead, I sat ~ didn’t kneel, didn’t tear my hair, but simply prayed knowing all was 50/50 Either it would be, or it wouldn’t. And then I did write, because it was time, and then I did tuck away that moment of mine; for I heard or felt a touch of life or spirit, or such… or even, more… which was relentless, like the sea, to shore. For too soon was I about to give a soul to ghost, but He let live this love of mine, this brother, dear… his assails were not yet grimed with the blackest hands of time. It is so easy to give in, to let a hurting soul begin to lift its life up to the source… and yet in prayer, some times, recourse is found in touch, a healing hand but nothing, no nothing that we command… ‘tis a gift, a time of transference, true… and I would ask that this come to you… Rebecca, Whtdove, I’ve been too silent, too long… the words all scrambled, seeming so wrong… but if a prayer were to reach you, one that gave strength… then I would ask others, that, link, by link… they add their own, to this little one… for my tongue now unleashed, has begun its own song. Rebecca…all my love… to a full and speedy recovery… Karilea |

Rebecca…all my love… to a full and speedy recovery…" The words that Sunshine brought today Have reached to Texas town And brought with them the sweetest prayer And a truth I've, too, found. For you, sweet Dove, I'll pray tonight That Our Lord fills your appetite And all your needs, He knows you have In ways that only He knows best. I pray you keep the mustard seed I know grows deep inside By hour, the seed grows stronger Because you have kept your faith. That seed will grow a tree, you know, You've shown us all that here before. So, Becky, I will pray for you That your deepest wishes do come true. Because I feel you trust God's plan That He has you in His gentle hands Sending love, Jo |
