Poems: Prayer of Remembrance

A Prayer in Remembrance

Life most precious in our arms

Keep them, Lord, from hurt and harm

Help us bring them a world so kind

Where goodness and friendship they will find

Where love and grace is freely shared

Where hope and dreams are fervently dared

It goes so fast, the hours spent

Of these tiny lives to whom us are lent

May we live worthy of this incarnate trust

Creating for them a world so just

Thank you, Lord, from Thee they are given

For us to give them on earth your heaven
