my girl, the one i love inexplicably
is a fighter
with little strength today
battle-weary and worn
she came to me
and
i hugged her hard
and
said i understand
and she
said a sentence i want to keep forever
it's okay -
i'm going to go to church
and
get some prayer....
not ask for prayer
but
get some prayer
i laughed a joyous laugh for
the strength
of those seven letters
i laughed a joyous laugh
for the hope
in those seven letters
and my girl?
she
will
win

This is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is a total God-Thing.
ReplyDeleteI love the expectancy in her words: to "get some" prayer... Because she *knows* it will happen. Love it.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful hope. Causes me to always consider perseverance. It pays off, yes?
ReplyDeletebeautiful - sweet sweet children really have the ability to see Him- it's precious. over the last decade, I've found my way back to the God of my childhood. I don't know what your little one is fighting- I'll have to read more of your blog to find out- but my heart is drawn to pray for her- please let her know. She's "getting" some more prayer - right now.
ReplyDeleteso well spoken for one so small. Good for her!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this intimate, personal God-Incidence.
I had God-Bumps as I read! :)
Keep up the God work.
