MISTY AND FAITH

Misty, it was just the other day you were well
Jumping and playing; no one could tell
You got sick so quickly my little girl
You can’t leave me now my blessed pearl

You are the gem of my heart
On a strict regiment we will embark
No more fatty foods or even treats
We need to get this condition quickly beat

I will start slowly so you understand
Giving you pills to take by my loving hand
I know they are big, but swallow them if you can
And, if you get too warm sit by the blowing fan

Someday soon you will forget you were sick
I will be watching the clock as it chimes and ticks
You see, we have time on our side
To get through the roughest of tides

I have prayed to both St Francis and to God
I patiently wait for both their heads to nod
To acknowledge our prayers have in fact been heard
Get well my little angel as we wait for God’s healing words
