Ask For Prayer
by
Alice C. Bateman
We pray for all the souls at risk
Upon this spinning orb
We call upon the God we Love
To please their souls absorb
We call upon Eternal Light
To guide them safely home
And as the tears fall from my eyes
I need to write this poem
I cannot be there for everyone
The families as they suffer
I want to hold you close to me
To be for you a buffer
Between the cold hard truth of death
And the depths of the despair
That one we love can bring to us
When they're no longer there
We know their souls are joyful now
Their lights have been released
And yet we can't help but be sad
When loved ones are deceased
Please try to be Joyful
That God so needed them
To Help Him in his Heavenly Work
Just in the Other Realm
I cry for you, I hold your hand
I mourn with you, make tea
And be all of the earthly things
A loving heart can be
I try to bring you comfort
On this most painful day
But all that I can do from here
Is bow my head and pray
Dear God, please ease the suffering
Brought on by early death
Of loved ones passing from our lives
And leaving us bereft
