Hear Me (May 24,2012)

Moon be quick to set away and please bring forth another day,

The nightmares haunt me of laboring birth, a breathless child I brought the earth,

Save me sweet light of morning glow, cool and crisp like winters snow,

Protect me Lord from my own mind, guide me to your loving kind,

I weep for you, I beg for saving, these nightmares make me feel like caving,

Give me the strength I once felt from you, renew me, fresh as the morning dew,

Show me my son, let me know he is safe, that truly you've made a sacred place,

You know of my struggles, you feel my pain, I know you keep me from going insane,

Was he truly to beautiful for these arms of mine, give me an answer, a trace of a sign,

I know you know best but why me I ask? Was I not ready for this beautiful task?

Lord I am begging, I need you now, I'm reaching for you, guide me somehow,

Tell my sweet baby of the love we share, that for him my heart beats and I'm always there,

Tell him great stories and sing him to sleep, shelter him from my cries that I weep,

I know you will hold him till I come along, that you will teach him right from wrong,

I'm just a mother who worries so much, though I know he is safe in your glowing touch,

I'm trying to open my weeping heart to you, I just don't know if its something I can do,

Forgive me of anger, I'm not really mad, this pain of my loss makes me desperately sad,

This is all new, I never did know, that my son would actually be the first to go,

Lord help me, your love is so pure, with your help I know there must be a cure.
