This is a short prayer I wrote 16 years ago. I'm submitting it for all who have lost loved ones and particularly for my family as we near the anniversary (Sept. 28, 2000) when a murderer took my niece her seven year old son and her five year old daughter


A Prayer For The Grieving

A prayer, dear one, in your time of grief
that you may know joy again.
A petition for God to bring relief
and let your healing begin.
May God allow hope to grow in your heart
and become your closest friend.
May He bring together what has fallen apart
so that you can know joy again.

to mourn is divine, because it revolves into memory and through that, they live on and are never forgotten, May God bless them eternally, Amen
