"Let Your will be done."

The baby cried out loud and the mother wept silently

The sweet pangs of creation she struggled violently

Give me a healthy child, the father prayed

…But not mine, let Your will be done.

Years rolled away the baby and brought the innocent boy

Protected and loved he grew making everything his toy

Keep him safe, the father prayed

…But not mine, let Your will be done.

Growing up was easy and being a teen was so messy

His wits on boys, his charm on girls, he exuded ecstasy

Make them love me, he prayed

…But not mine, let Your will be done.

He grew up strong and at times even weak

Still a kid at heart, both kind and meek.

Make me stronger, her prayed

…But not mine, let Your will be done.

Friends were good, friends were bad

Unable to judge he felt hurt and sad

Don’t let them cheat me, he prayed

…But not mine, let Your will be done.

He fell in love and his life changed forever

She became everything he wanted to revere

I want to marry her, he prayed

…But not mine, let Your will be done.

Life started its voyage with happiness in sight

Like the passing spring seasons changed overnight

Don’t let her change, he prayed

…But not mine, let Your will be done.

Written in sorrow the time’s pages he turned

Love was lost too soon, every ray of hope churned

Save me Lord, he prayed,

…But not mine, let Your will be done.

The tears wouldn’t stop, the pain won’t die

Gone were the dreams but to the world he’d lie

Kill me Lord, he prayed,

…But not mine, let Your will be done.

A beautiful angel, so little and tender

The greatest gift that life could render

She instilled hope with her smile so slender

Just one word ‘Papa’, oh, what a splendor

I want to live again, he prayed

…But not mine, let Your will be done.
