Dear God...
9 November, 2003
Author: Terrie*
Dear God,
I want to thank you
for this moment
I cherish every breath that I take
I know that I have spent many moments
asking soooo many questions , all at one time
and praying for things on top of that, I do get out of line
Dear God,
first of all,
I want to thank you for my children and the greatest love of my life and the life we had
I pray for others that are at the moment far too sad
Dear God,
this time...this prayer isn't for me
it is of the things of the future that i do not know
and for things i do not want to hear or see
and things i pray to be
Dear God,
I know not what the future holds
I do not want to hear of another death
or see another broken heart
I want and pray for world peace for them and me
Dear God,
please keep their tears from forming
hear my prayers from where I am
as I reach across to you, I uplift my hands
your beauty is so rare and unique
let it be shared by the very weak
Dear God,
This may be a time that we lose control
please be there when we need someone to hold
you have always answered my prayer
all things are possible thru you
you restore all life anew
Dear God,
for all our military personnel
please whisper in their ear, please do tell...
let them know that we all pray for them to be home
life is harder when one is alone
they risk their life for the freedom of the red white and blue
please, you are the only one I can come to...
the things they are forced to see are hard to bear
there is no where to turn ,nowhere to run
shower them with a sign that we all care
perhaps a breeze can be a warm embrace
upon their face
Dear God,
and for the loved ones that patiently wait
continue to give them that bit of fate
sometimes we understand that tears will form
and the tides are mighty strong in the storm
you are still the stronger source around
you enter our life quietly without a sound
put and end to the endless bloodshedd
bring them all home instead
DearGod,
please put them all at ease
as I come begging on my knees
wipe all their tears away pleaseeee..
this to you dear God I do pray.....
Dear God,
thank you once again...
you know me...I'll be back again.... and again...

| martin vann (171.75.206.165) -- Monday, November 10 2003, 07:10 pm I'm aware, there are many times, when we speak are heart in prayer, and seem to hear, he has deaf ears and moves away, and ignores are prayers. That is not true, he hears every word, and his answer may not fulfill our requests, but in time we see, he knew, waht was best. Thanks Terrie MartinV |
| Silkened Moon (aka Enchantress) (206.216.222.181) -- Tuesday, November 11 2003, 12:31 am Very moving Terrie, it's very thoughtful and heartwarming of you to think of those who are out there fighting for us and our country. If any of them were reading it now, I'd think they'd be very proud to know their nation cares enough to write a thoughtful poem to them. Good job, Terrie |
| Terrie* (65.148.214.41) -- Tuesday, November 11 2003, 03:14 am ** this poem started out as one pertaining to lifes many changes..births, deaths and things in general i am ignorant of.... etc. but then Military made home to my heart and ....well...my little brain was touched and inspired** Martin, it is soooo true...God knows something that we don't...in all of lifes bitter twists....either way he assures us that he is there to carry us thru and help us to get a grip and understanding amongst the storm..sometimes things just need to be carried out even if they were not in his plan....thank you for such a pleasant comment, Dear....Terrie* SilkenedMoon,i sure do hope & pray that the many that serve are aware that as one we all care, i know that sometimes being in unfriendly territory one can feel lonely and very much deserted........we have several writers here that have loved ones protecting our country...they need our support too....the wager of blood is very steep , i hope that every body in live combat or not..becomes aware that we are there...in our hearts supporting them...thank you for your thoughtful comment sweetie. they touch my heart and really mean alot...Terrie* |
