It was dawn when she knelt
on the side of the bed
Praying to the God above
Not to take her only son
away from her.
She prayed to God
with all her heart
A prayer of mercy
A prayer of forgiveness
A prayer for her son
Her pride and joy.
O Lord, my God, my savior
Please spare my one and only son
Let him live, a full life filled
With a bright future.
For I am not ready
To let him go
To lose him to
The angel of death.
She saw God's work at hand
When her son opened his eyes
She knelt again to thank God
praising His love, thanking Him
For the miracle that He has given her.
For God is the God of wonder
Who is merciful and kind
Who gave her back her one and only son.
