Poetry Thursday - "Fallen Warrior"
FALLEN WARRIOR
Our Father who art in heaven
save my fellow warrior
as she fights for her
precious life.
Hallowed be thy name
for she is in your hands
you hold the power
of her fate.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
her faith has been tested
she stood with fortitude
heart breaking.
On earth as it is in heaven
take away her suffering
her shadowed dreams
give her hope.
Give us this day, our daily bread
for she is a mother that
has nutured a family
now in shreds.
Forgive us our trespasses
for we want her to stay
our yellow rose
another day.
Amen
Poetry Thursday had no theme this week and since a fellow warrior/blogger is fighting for her life I wrote a poem/prayer. She could use many more as the doctors have given her little hope. I'm not going to give up on her! Fight sweet Helen. Yellow Rose I can't concentrate on much else for now.
I can't seem to link with beta? http://hsatt1.blogspot.com/ Helen's blog.

I am so sorry, my precious friend, it breaks my heart. I hate to see a fellow warrior fall. I will send my prayers that whatever way she chooses, God will be with her.
I love you!
Amen. I pray for strength and comfort for Helen and for you.
I know you are aching for her and I am so sorry. A wonderful tribute to her in this poem/prayer.

This is a beautiful prayer. Love the song as well, it makes me cry and it says it all really. I feel so frightened for dear Helen ... but your strength - and God's - is helping her I know.

Many prayers coming from me to Helen and for you too honey. Keep strong!
Tammy, this is truly from your heart and it has reached me, deeply. I honor you for supporting your friend. My words wane in comparison. Hope in my heart for Helen...
Amen. I too pray that God is upholding Helen in this time.
She's a beautiful person and your prayer is lovely too. I hope it is answered, Tammy.

You are a wonderful advocate for Helen with God. I know through your faith he will give you both strength and understanding.

Oh, I knew this was about Helen when I read your post at PT... God bless her and her family and you, Tammy, for being such a wonderful friend.
Makes me very sad that you're so sad. It also makes it that much more real how damaging and scary this disease can be.
My heart is with your friend...and with you.
Love,
Nancy
A beautiful prayer for Helen ~I'm praying it with you and this whole community of bloggers.
I also have a 'distant' friend fighting for her life now. I hope that this passage will be sweet and peaceful for both.
oh hon ... this is beautiful and breaks my heart just a little but so long as there is hope, there is hope regardless of what doctors say ~ am sending you and her strength and love and positive energy ... xoxox
Tammy - May your friend find peace and you find continued strength.
