Dear Jesus, I just stopped by tonight
to say a word or two.
You have always been a part of me,
and I, a part of you.
I am so sorry I sometimes let you wait
for days to hear me pray.
I always know you are here for me
and I call on you today.
Times have been very hard Dear Lord ~
So many questions I now have.
I know you hold the answers
Within your loving hands.
On the eve of this new Easter
I know I am held within your care.
You are the risen son of God
I KNOW that you are there.
Please help me to remember
why you hung upon the cross
Whisper to me gently
"My Child, you are not lost"
I have often wanted
To put my praise upon a page.
So, Dear Jesus,
with my simple words ~
I have picked today.
For all that read this simple prayer
I have come to say
"If you do not know this man named Jesus
Search your heart for him today."
Tomorrow with the rising sun
Remember the story of the cross.
For with a very simple prayer
Your soul no longer will be lost.
Oh you will often question
But he always finds the way
To make known to you his presence
When you have gone astray.
This is meant to be a testiment
As well as the prayer I now must say.
Dear Jesus, take me in your hands
I feel a little lost today.
Amen
What a sweet prayer
We wish the same for you.
Peace be with you.
Your poetry is incredible. I praise you and say, high fives to your better judgment and kudos fellow writer.
Revisiting this poem four months later, I find it even more beautiful!

The feeling here is urgent.
Yet, there is hope and assurance
in trusting our Lord Jesus to see
us through these trying and troubling
times.
And our Lord and Saviour: Jesus said,
we must be of good cheer because he
have overcome the world and gives us
that peace which passes all understanding!!

So many people forget the true story of Easter! Only you can remind people so gently to remember. I KNOW your prayer will be answered. This I have not doubt. I love you mom. Never stop writing.
