I Prayed for You
I prayed for you
As I young woman
I knew one day I would get married
I knew one day I would be pregnant
I knew one day I would have a child
I knew I would be a mother
Little did I know
What would have to occur
Before getting those things
I prayed for you
Battles within my body
Sickness and pain
Doctor after doctor
As I sat in these experiences
I began to pray
Your husband prayed
Your family prayed
Your pastor prayed
Friends prayed
I prayed for you
Possible surgery
I said no...
Six cysts turned into one
Prayer after prayer
Fast after fast
Speaking life into my own body
I cried to Jesus...HELP ME
Unable to walk due to the pain
Lost my job in the midst of healing
No one could understand
I’ve been known to be a miracle
I prayed for you
Months passed by
A huge cyst was removed
I felt alive again
Waiting for the right time to start a family
Well now is the time
I thought....
Months passed
A beautiful Sunday afternoon
I sat in the chair
Getting cute for the holidays
Never did I think I would end up
Burned...
Second and third degree burns
Covered me
Neck
Shoulder
Back
Bottom
Anger filled me
I wanted to have a child and was so close
God why?
Why are you punishing me?
Little did I know the plan He had for me
Surgery after surgery
Unbearable pain, I cried
Time flying by
I prayed for you
Upset at the side effects
I sat there in tears
When will it be my day?
Listening to doubt from doctors
When they didn’t understand my faith
I prayed for you
December 2019
Last surgery
Sickness filled me again
What is this I asked myself
I heard a voice whisper you’re pregnant
Test after test
Positive. Positive. Positive.
We’re pregnant
There were two
Then there was one
Tears filled my eyes
Yet joy stayed in my heart
I prayed for you
You are here
Our hearts are full
Tears we cry
The love for our son
I prayed for you
Your father prayed
Your family prayed
Your pastor prayed
You are loved
Welcome to the world son
We’ll protect you
We’ll love you
We’ll teach you
God will cover you
I prayed for you
