And So I Pray...
By Kathleen D., Grade 9, Fredericton High School, Fredericton, NB

And so I pray,
for you, this day.
Words to the Lord,
I wish, I say.

Dreaded events appeared on a whim,
and so,
the ray of hope may seem dim.

Yet with these thoughts for you,
I aid the perlude of hope and dreams,
to find you,
and soothe you with its comforting light.

With all my mind I wonder; Why?
Why you, the one of a life of love and righteousness?
Is it fate? Or is it destiny?

With all my heart, soul and spirit,
I wish for the best, I wish for a cure,
I wish for your dream,
a miracle.

It can't end now.
And so I pray.
For you to survive. For your family to live through the difficult times.
For the tears to stop, for the hearts to un-break.
This cannot go on with your life at stake.

So live long and well.
Fight. Fight with all your might.
May your guardian angel guide you through.
May the heavens bless you.

And so I pray,
for you, this day.
Words to the Lord,
I wish, I say.
