Courtney's Poem



She stood by him brave and tall
Stood by him through it all
Never was there a moment she counted it a loss
Never when it was painful did she, a relationship toss
As Mother, Sister, Daughter, Aunt, Grandma, or wife
She stood as God’s example of endurance through the strife
And now as she faces what may be the battle for his end
My sister breathes in every moment of life she can spend
My Jesus, as we stand amazed by her great strength
We cannot help but hope for Steve, You’ll grant his life some length
But we bow our hopes unto Your will and with You we believe
That whatever time is left for them, into Your arms, he’ll be received
Please wrap Your loving arms around this family in distress
Help them know that You are standing guard and will not leave behind mess
For in Your perfect timing, all of us are going home
And in Your beautiful Presence, we will find one another's arms
Heavenly hugs will be shared once again by all who call You Father
In Your Son’s holy name, Jesus You are our Healer, Your Spirit our Counsel without falter
Give ample amounts of Your love to these, our sweet beloved
Watch over Steve, take his pain away so that he can live unencumbered
Your love is perfect, Lord of all
With peace not understood but felt as he’s called,
We enter these days unknowing how it’ll go
But we trust that in Your hands, all will be ok. And we know
That You love your child Steve and would have suffered if only for Him
Because that’s Your brand of love and the way of Father Elohim
Give joy for these times together, allow the unspoken to be said
There are new mercies every morning, God’s poems of love for you to be read
You are so loved so very prayed for, all these months and days
God’s eyes are upon you, His breath whispers to you in the waves
Take comfort in knowing You are never alone. God cares about every single thought
He’s closer than He’s ever been to each of you.This battle’s already been fought
And we win in the end!We’ll stand and rejoice
As we take hold of hands and lift up our voice
Together once again, on that beautiful day
Together in eternity, where written in the clouds is Steve and Courtney
