Lord Jesus, hear my cry <br />Be wholly in my heart <br />Strengthen and console us two <br />As we prepare to part <br />I look into her eyes <br />The tears are forming there <br />Be with her as she lives her life <br />Whenever I’m not there <br />Let her know we’re miles apart <br />But nothing will ever change <br />The love between two sisters <br />No matter what the range <br />Fill her heart with love <br />And dry away her tears <br />Let her know the way I feel <br />Will never change in years <br />I love her, dear Lord <br />Not because I must <br />But because she is my sister <br />The closest one I trust <br />The one who has been my shoulder <br />Whenever I needed to cry <br />The one who gave me comfort <br />When a relative had died <br />The one who encourages <br />Me to be so strong <br />The one who has been loving me <br />From childhood all along <br />She’s the one I talk to <br />When a boy does me wrong <br />She’s the one who lectures me <br />When I know I’m too far gone <br />She lifts me up <br />And inspires me to be better <br />My sister and my blood <br />So won’t you, Lord, let her <br />Know that I’m her sister <br />And her truest, dearest friend <br />And no matter what the distance <br />I will be there ‘til the end <br />Let her see my love for her <br />Will never ever falter <br />I’ll still be loving her strong <br />When she’s standing at the altar <br />Bless her, Father, for she deserves <br />Much more than words can say <br />I see You within her soul <br />She carries You every day <br />And Lord, I know You have Your will <br />That will guide her life <br />And I can already see her <br />Such a loving wife <br />A writer, an artist <br />A student and a daughter <br />Tell her please, Lord God, <br />That my love – my love won’t falter <br />What better blessing can one ask <br />Than that of a sister’s love <br />As peaceful and as graceful <br />As a purest, whitest dove<br /><br />Chantelle Nixon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-simple-prayer-2/
