Dawn -- Lifted in Prayer

Prayers: No Words Can Tell
Janice Lindemann

What words of consolation are there to offer?
When a bottomless pain is so deep to suffer
There is the reaching hand and sincere heartfelt hug
But seems so small a gesture to enormous aching tug.

While questioning why must the Soul take flight
Feeling helpless not knowing how to make right
For it is impossible to ease a brokenness throbbing
For it is impossible to stop a soft quieted sobbing.

Only the sad knowing smile shared to show
Grief, mourning, distress, despair, and woe
Somber prayers go to Heaven and are heard by Our Lord
Prayers for strength and peace while looking out toward

An undying New Life Eternal Home to send
One day all together Home again, my friend!
