Boy At Prayer Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

Boy kneels weeping beside his bed, grieving
Whispering prayers, seeking peace of mind
Healing sadness overwhelming, tormenting
Loss too much for his heart to bear.
Tells of grandmother, darling beloved Nana
Dying in a hospice, body ravaged by cancer
Asks for divine intervention for her received
Into Heaven, greeted by angels, no longer in pain.
Knows he will never forget Nana with her smile
How happy she made him with cuddles and kisses.
Ending prayer thanking God for hearing him
For having such loving understanding parents,
Teachers and classmates, and best friend
Henry the pug dog, with delightful wagging tail.
