The love born from a mother
In her soul will love ever recover?
Why did you take her Lord?
Why do you make her suffer?

“Verily there is no greater love
than to give your life for another
but there is also no greater pain
than that borne by a mother
and as she sees her child rise
as only the holy spirit can carry
I have blessed her soul again
as I have the ****** Mary”

The love felt by a father
In his soul will love ever rise?
Why did you take her Lord?
Do you see the tears in his eyes?

“I know of his pain for
I too have felt it in the lamb
and I have spoken of him
the same as I spoke to Abraham
who offered his own son
as I would later offer my own;
I will raise your daughter now and
your faith shall be forever known”

The love known by a family
In their souls will love live?
Why did you take her Lord?
Will they ever learn to forgive?

“It is written that to believe in me
is to receive the grace of eternal life
but I must ask for a deeper faith
in order to soothe my own strife
for I have made man in my image
and I also feel pain as do you
but though I have made all things
my heart needs an angel too”
Written for a family who is suffering from the loss of a beautiful young daughter;  what can you say ?
