WARRIORS

I wrote this poem in gratitude to those who prayed for me during a cancer battle. They were my Warriors. God heard and answered! Nelda Johnson

THEY ARE LIKE STARS IN THE HEAVENS
THAT SHINE BRIGHT IN THE DARK,
LIKE THE GLORIOUS COLORS OF SUNSET,
LIKE A LONG, SWEET WALK IN THE PARK.

THEY ARE LIKE BUTTERFLIES LIGHTLY DANCING
‘NEATH SOFT BLUE SKIES ABOVE,
LIKE A GIFT OF FLOWERS BEING GIVEN
WITH A HEART SO FULL OF LOVE.

ALL THESE THINGS AND MORE
SPEAK OF THE BEAUTY OF THOSE WHO HAVE PRAYED,
WHO HAVE SOUGHT THE LORD IN HIS GOODNESS,
LACK OF SLEEP IS THE PRICE THEY HAVE PAID.

WITH ALL OF MY HEART I SAY THANK YOU,
FOR THE SWEET PRAYERS YOU HAVE OFFERED FOR US,
FOR YOUR LOVE, FOR YOUR CARE, FOR YOUR KINDNESS
YOU CRIED OUT AND IN GOD PUT YOUR TRUST.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, FAMILY AND FRIENDS
FOR YOUR WARFARE PRAYERS, SO DEAR.
BECAUSE YOU ARE FIGHTING SO HARD FOR US,
WE CAN STAND IN PEACE, WITHOUT FEAR.
