Prayer
Hold your children close sweet Jesus
Press them to your heart
See the sadness in each spirit
Watch as lives are torn apart
Witness the heartbreak in the living
Daylight hides their reverence
See the scorn beneath their silence
Feel their fell ambivalence
From their folly of false wisdom
And the sorrow that became dismay
Waiting with every good intention
But never worthy even for a day
When death stills repenting tears
And ends those long tormented years
They will die with hapless feelings
Unfounded guilt and grief and fears
