THIS ROCKY PATH

Oh, Dear God, this awful pain!
Nothing will ever be the same again.
The winds howl, the roll of thunder
My soul is being torn asunder.
I can not walk this rocky path.
 
I raise my eyes to heaven to ask
Why God, do you ask this task.
I know the promises you made,
to be near, to give us aid.
But, I can not walk this rocky path!
 
The pain is too great, I cannot bear.
The wind whispers, "I care --
Just as your daughter is out of pain,
Heaven's gate is her gain.
But alone, you will not walk this rocky path."
 
Peace & acceptance is now mine.
At His table, I will dine.
With saints gathered at His Throne
Our lives and prayers have grown.
To teach us that we do not walk this path alone.
 
Friends, He sent this day
To help show us the way
Friends, family, all around
From here to heaven they abound.
 I will not walk this rocky path alone.
 
His touch, through others, for me
His pure beauty of love to see.
It is wonderous, as she stands at the throne
and it teaches me that we are not alone.
I do not walk this rocky path alone..

in appreciation to all the family, friends, and
the internet friends who gave us their support,
prayers and love, at a much needed time...
