DEAR GOD

Sometimes we take our world for granted,

We miss the sunrise, believe there will always be a sunset.

Death seems to be a punishment, perhaps a gift,

Today you did a most wonderful thing, thank you.

Mary Ann was in such pain so you sent the angels to sit by her side,

They held her hand, they did not leave her until it was time, they took her away.

A family mourns but you let her rest, you gave her peace,

God, please let her know, Mary Ann, now you can smile,

You can laugh and run as once you did as a child.

Watch the birds fly high in heavens sky,

Listen to music that was special to your ears.

Tell her that she’ll see them again in a place of peace,

A land without fear.
