A Lost Child, A Mother's Prayer

Lord, the child you formed within my womb,
was taken suddenly from me...
and all that's left is emptiness
and questions running free.

I would've been a good mother,
I would've loved this child so much...
I would have given all I have
for her precious tender touch.

I pray for strength and wisdom,
as I face these trying days...
Lord, help me understand the truth,
and trust in all your ways.

I may not know the reason
my child is not with me...
but I know she's safe in heaven,
with you, for eternity.

Please tell my child I love her,
and I'll see her in the sky...
I'll hold her close forever,
and sing her lullabies.

No more tears or hardship,
no more pain to bear...
face to face I'll see her;
just tell her I'll be there.
