Guiding Prayer
Silhouetted grief on stoic faces,
sufferings left distinctive traces
Last goodbyes are somberly spoken
As church bells peal, silence is broken
Heavy hearted mourners humbly repent
optimistic that guardians are heavenly sent
Weep for those who've laid down their soul,
pray that they lived hallow and whole
Soon they'll be transported to the celestial sphere,
with the Lord as their guide and angels near.
