Our Father
by Nancy Van De Vaarst


Prayer To My Baby

My little baby who lives in heaven
Forever I will remember your name.
You will never come.
My dream is done.
I'm on earth and you are in heaven.
Give me this day
My daily strength.
And forgive me when I get angry
As I try to accept those who have babies before me.
And lead me not into pain and sorrow
But deliver me from unhappiness and help me to have faith.

For you are my baby, my angel, my love
Now and forever.

Amen


These words just came to me one day. You may contact Nancy at vandevaa@us.ibm.com.
