Lord, thou art my arms of comfort
cradle me softly as I slumber
console those that surround me
with thy sweet peace of Spirit.

In thy mercy and unsurpassing grace
let thy child rest in thy presence
with blessed assurance of thy keep
wrapped in the prayers of all thy saints,
until my soul can sing of thy praises once more.

Take me to that river of healing Lord,
baptize me in thy compassion and care
and set my feet upon the mountain peaks
where I shall joyfully extol of thee-
thy miracles to the world declare.

Amen

Dulcinea,

A comforting place of rest and rejuvination is found in the words of your poetry here. I am certain that Lauren will find comfort in these words as well. Thanks for sharing and GOD bless you my friend.

my lovely Dulcy,
you, who have been touched with Angel's verse
write these Psalms with every indication
of divine inspiration as beautiful as the original

and Lauren,
God smiles upon you this day
as you turn the corner on bad luck
and rush to face the blessings of thanks
as recovery begins

~huggs to you both~

Dulcinea,
It can't be said better than this. Well done. Peace to you Lauren. Hurry back.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I would sincerely like to thank everyone who read this prayer for Lauren (Greeneyes) and added their responses. I have been in Lauren's situation and I wrote this from that perspective, from living memory...again thank you all!

Noah, Bob, Nancy, Trillium, my darlin Shadow Rider

, Joyce and Larry...your kindness is overwhelming and I pray she will be home and well enough soon to claim this prayer as hers. Praise our Lord for his unending mercy and grace and for inspiring me.

Dulcie darling heart and keeper of the stars incandescent shine, this reflection of your soul’s care is one of the best, the very best I’ve ever read by you. You have in this wonderful flow of words written your heart, you’ve shown me a glimpse of the soul that lies within wrapped in love and touched by harmony and HIS loving light. In this utterly perfect poem you’ve excelled yourself yet again.

This is truly exquisite writing and I love it love it love it utterly. As always darling heart YOU are perfection personified and I love it. Sing sweetly dear poet and your words will waft on the wings of night. Truly gorgeous writing

Lauren take this gift of heart and wrap it around your soul you can have no finer gift of love’s light on this day. Praises be to HIM, and thank you Dulcie for this angels song.

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

Mushy! Perfection??? Ohhhhhhhhh ~~groan~~ now I will have an impossible standard to live up to (fretting already). You are too much!

I just pray that the good Lord will continue to inspire me to bless others, this is afterall, Lauren's prayer from HIS heart, through my fingers only...I was just the messenger.
