Her Needs, My Prayer

by Sixteezkid



You gave her to me, God-
I never asked you why
She'd need me all her life
On me, she could rely

The challenge has been hard
Unknowns along the way
But love has been my guide
Each step, each mile, each day

Yet now that she has grown
Her needs are all the more
I lend her back to you
For help, I do implore

As "special" she is called
My daughter, so in need
It seems no human touch
Can help her, I concede

Now, in your hands I trust
For no one else can place
Her future in the light
I ask for all your grace

So, this my only prayer
Please hold her in your care
