A poem about my feelings when waiting to hear if my 38 yr old daughter had cancer or not.
How do you lose a child
With grace and dignity

How do you let go with
Love and compassion

I can’t lose her just now
It isn’t time for her to go

How can I function without her?
I can’t let her go just yet

Please Dr make her well
She is my love my life

My baby still needs me
And I need her so much

She’s my best friend
My daughter my child

My tears are falling
My prayers are rising

Please please please
Make it all right again

I will make peace
With this awful pain

I will laugh again
and learn to go on

But until then Lord
Please hold her tight

Take away her fears
Smooth away her tears

All I want dear Lord
Is to hold her and then

I want to rock her and
Tell her It’ll be all right.

I’m only her mother
I know she’s on loan

So Lord keep her
In your faithful hands

In Heaven and on earth
Thy will be done.
