Prayer

They say a prayer will protect you,
But a prayer can say goodbye too.
Trust me I know.
I've seen people lowered six feet below.
You say a prayer in hopes of a good life,
But sometimes it brings only strife.
So you stop praying,
but all you are doing is hoping.
Hoping that your trials will end.
Maybe God will get the message you send.
The message of "Please stop the pain."
but then it smacks you in the face like cold rain.
He's testing you to see if you hesitate.
For God knows if your prayer is a second late.
So you keep on praying.
"I get what you're doing." You raise your eyes up and keep saying.
You hold your head down and get on your knees,
you say, "God give me a good life please."

Prayer to my Guardian Angel

Stand by my side,
Help me to be strong.
Catch me as I fall,
Support me as my knees buckle.
Protect me from evil,
Show me to the light.
Carry me when I’ve drained,
Hold my hand as I fly.
Hug me as I weep,
Enjoy my happiness.
Love me as I love you,
Allow me these things.
These simple ideals,
Make my simple wish.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I think the meaning is pretty clear for this one, sometimes you need a helping hand and sometimes that can come from knowing somebody, somewhere cares for you.

Dying Child's Prayer

Precious Jesus here I am
A gentle child your little lamb
Though I am not very old
I am ready to walk on streets of gold
Thank you for the time I had
Making memories with Mom & Dad
Bring them peace and comfort when they cry
And let them know its not goodbye
Bring them laughter and calm their fears
Let them know in heaven there are no tears
The pain is gone the joy is true
Let them know that I’m here with you
Hold me Jesus and take my hand
Walk with me thru the promised land
Let Mom know this was your plan for me
Let her feel a gentle breeze and know that it’s a kiss from me
Let Dad know of your plan too
Fill his heart with gladness too
For I love them Jesus and they love you
Hold them close when they are feeling blue
Keep them close to you and let them see
All the blessings you gave to me.
Loving parents, friends and family
Take me home Lord as I am
A gentle child your little lamb
