A Widow's Thanksgiving Prayer
I praise the Lord - Him who has given me
Life, and largesse and gifts in plenitude
Out of His fullness and benignity
I praise and thank the Lord - for He is good.!
Thanks unto Him and praise who let me meet,-
Encounter my dear spouse when time was right
The Lord who in his love did stir and feed
A deep affection between groom and bride
For many years, kind Lord ,-you let him be
A husband caring, always by my side
And when you finally took him from me
It was to bless him with Eternal Light.
Thank you for precious years- thanks Lord and praise!
That on this earth walked my beloved spouse;
How marvelous your providence and ways
You bring your own into their Father’s House.
You keep profound affection’s candle lit
To stay a- shining, luminous and bright;
Enduring flame you feed and nourish it
From your own being, Lord of Love and Light!
I thank you for my life’s companion;
Take unto you my cherished spouse I plead,
And let us find in you reunion
When in your boundless love again we meet.
