A Snapshot Of Grief, Surrounded By Faith

A Snapshot Of Grief, Surrounded By Faith

Into the heavy air
I send this guided prayer,
With heart unguarded and spirit low
On bended knees, I won't say "no."
Pulse is flatlined, my thoughts come (painful and) slow
Here in the heavy air
Up where I've sent my prayer
That God would watch you, day and night
Just as you're mine, you're His delight.
May the God of the sparrows
And of the saints and the thieves
Be gracious in granting you
All the joy, freedom, and wisdom that you need.
