[bodytext] => Talks of dreams and silent things Whispers through the stars Of God, earth, and angelic things Gentle prayers resonating off my breath Embracing her battle, her life Her spirit and all thats still left The flickers of hope that still linger in her eyes And my unwavering faith even when her heart begins to cry Calming the fright with just the touch of my hand Wrapping my strength around her life like a protective band She who is my creator, she who gave me life And now we fight together for hers I'd bleed my heart dry just to find a cure And in the moments where she feels that she can no longer try I will part the clouds for her and show her a blue sky Pull her out from that darkness within Remind her that a brand new future is about to begin I'll stand by her side until the very end She's the core of my being and my very best friend Kneeling before God we patiently wait Gripping a rosary tight awaiting the fate Knowing that she could so easily be gone tomorrow I paint on a smile for her to mask my sorrow I put my trust in God to heal this disease Shiny a holy light upon the pink ribbon on my sleeve And over and over again These gentle prayers fall delicately from my lips... Dear Lord Heavenly Father, Take my faith as I give free of all temptation Take my soul and eternity in exchange For my mothers salvation Free her of this suffering and pain Cleanse her life with these tears That fall like eternal rain End the struggle, appease the strife Dear Lord please save my mothers life... Heed these gentle prayers... Amen.
