A Prayer for Eternity ( Natalie )

Lord, forgive me for my ways,
I have left in solemnity,
my blessing for many days.
Keep those close to me from harm,
As they've been harmed before.
Let her know I'll stay beside,
wherever we might be.
Keep her safe for me, father,
Walk there by her side.
Walk to where I cannot go,
Where she goes to hide.
I see the pain in every glance,
the suffering I cause,
forgive me, then, for wanting more,
To love her without pause.
Is it sin to stay beside her,
when my presence causes pain?
What if I do wrong once more,
And destroy my love again?
If silence is my answer, lord,
then silence I will provide.
Give me strength, forevermore,
to walk there by her side.
Amen.
