God, Open Your Door to My Family

This is a poem that Shelley wrote while our mom was sick. I think Shelley has an amazing talent for poetry.

God, Open Your Door to My Family

God of the heavens and stars

in my heart a simple prayer,

I humbly call out to you

to help me from way up there.

It is a personal challenge

that needs your open door,

I pray to you with all my heart

for the courage to endure.

I share the pains of my Mother

who is probably going to die,

she has always been close to me

and I don't want to say goodbye.

Her loving ways are in my heart

and her pains I hate to see,

God, please help us to be strong

when she leaves our family.

Please open your door of heaven

and help us to heal from pain,

when she has to leave us behind

help us to face the fallen rain.

-Shelley Williams
