Prayer

Sorry, this poem isn’t that great. I tried to rhyme, and I suppose the real reason I dislike writing rhyming poetry is because I’m bad at it. Anyways:

God, I put it in Your hands

The strongest grip I’ve ever seen

Death crumbles in Your grasp

And with Your hands, our hearts you glean

–

Now I’m laying all of it down

I can’t hold it any longer

And, my God, I will trust You

Above all, You are stronger

–

This is the most precious thing

So fragile, perfect, lovely, give it rest

Take care of it, I know You will

Keep it safe, near Your chest

–

God, I pray, show it Your love

More than I could ever give

And, God, stroke it with Your loving hands

Let it have proof to know that You live

–

Thank You, for the chances You gave

For the trials and friendship and fun

For the growth and lessons

But most of all for the tears, every one

–

I’ll let go, but I’ll never say goodbye

I love it, and that’s why I give it to You

You are so much greater, You can give it peace

And through Your Word, I believe it is true

–

Your hands are strong and firm

I will trust You with my treasure

God, I love more than even that

You are my hope, my pain, my pleasure

–

Amen
