Sleep; my body’s reprieve …eludes me…
Though exhaustion… calls my name
My mind… is filled with worry
My heart… is filled with pain
My prayers seem to go unheeded
I hear no answers from above
I yearn… to hear His whisper
Feel the comfort… of His love
The safety of one I love is questioned
My sense of comfort crumbles at my feet
There is no hiding from thoughts of danger
A facade of strength admits defeat
I pray a safe journey is tendered
I pray for blessings from God above
His presence my loved one feels
And the protection of Fatherly love
I know… each day is numbered
And only He knows when life will end
I pray this love outlives me
For my broken heart would never mend
Dear Lord…release my worries
Allow my tortured soul…some rest
Taking my fears, my pain, and my weakness
You rest my head against your breast
