Oh Lord so holy, <br />My divine, <br />Why did you take, <br />This child of mine? <br /> <br />Have I wronged you? <br />Have I failed? <br />Did I but miss, <br />What life entailed? <br /> <br />When I had her, <br />I did not see, <br />How her sweet heart, <br />Would die by me. <br /> <br />And then my prayers <br />So swiftly changed. <br />I asked “Dear Lord, <br />Was this arranged? ” <br /> <br />Oh Lord so holy, <br />My divine. <br />Please watch over <br />This child of mine <br /> <br />I know she’s lovely, <br />She’s so sublime. <br />Please take care of, <br />Her soul through time. <br /> <br />Oh Lord so holy, <br />My divine. <br />I thank thee that, <br />This child was mine.<br /><br />Brittany Graviet<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-child-3/
