Mama's Heart

I‛ll Carry You My Child♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥I just remember praying so silently Dear Jesuswill you please take my trembling hand?Lord can‛t you see I‛m losing all of my courageI‛m weak my legs are shaking and I can barely stand.I know that you see this door in front of memy precious daughter is resting in peace on the other side.I am just so afraid of seeing what I most want to seeLord Do you think this time you could carry me inside?Then Jesus said My child you must have forgottenfor this surely isn‛t the very first time.You‛ve had other troubling times in your lifeas I did then I‛ll carry you now and you will be just fine.I can‛t tell you this won‛t be painful for it willthere will be things that you won‛t want to see.But someday even painful memories become cherishedand they‛ll remain deep in the heart of you and me.Don‛t you remember the day that you followed me childas we walked lazily along in the sand?There was only one set of footprints thendon‛t you know my child I‛ll carry you again?18 MARY J.
