Prayers The house was small, the children numbered four And as they climbed up to the second floor I said, before you sleep, mother will come And listen to the prayers of every one Then when you lay your head in slumber’s nest A angel’s peace will sooth your little chest The first one prayed that she would have her dream A three year old with lots of plans to scheme Then mother added, don’t forget to pray For those who have no toys with which to play And may your heart be giving with no end I love you darling, go to sleep, Amen The second was a little boy of six I pray dear God, please give me magic tricks I said His miracles no tricks employ For He has blessed a sickly little boy Please don’t forget how ill your little friend I love you, keep him in your prayers, Amen The third one prayed for all his family Then kneeling down and looking up at me He asked God at the tender age of nine To bless me with His love, pure and divine And when his prayer was coming to an end He said, dear God, I need a bike, Amen The twelve year old was struggling to pray For tears were falling with each word he’d say His dog was gone and I could not console The pain that pierced the innocence of soul I said I know he was your dearest friend I love you, May you find the strength, Amen My own heart was now weeping as they slept As thoughts of things I couldn’t give had crept Through window panes, that couldn’t mask the winds That whistled through the fields and barren limbs And then a whispering voice said, “My dear friend Your love is all they’ll ever need, Amen” Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (07-30-2002 12:02 PM).] |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Elizabeth, this had me both crying in grief and joy, I know how hard it must feel for a child to experience a loss so young, I too felt that when my kitty Holly passed away from a fever and that broke my heart, yet I felt learning from Him that it was so lucky to have me as an owner and that truly my Holly would never break away from my heart because I would always love her! (BIG HUGGGSSSSSS) God Bless You, sweet friend, my heart goes out to all children who face heartbreak so young yet may they also be blessed knowing their love will always be with them, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
