Prayer for a Beautiful Soul at Hospice - Poem
A woman of beauty, in spirit and light,
Courage like fire, faith steady and bright.
She has walked through the flames, yet rose from the heat,
With grace in her spirits, and strength in her beat.
O God, You have watched her through struggle and strife,
Held tight to her hand through the storms of her life.
Now she rests in Your peace, in the calm You impart,
And we thank You for quiet You’ve poured in her heart.
She is light to the weary, a balm to the worn,
A healer of hearts that feel tattered or torn.
Once a patient in sanctuary walls she stood,
Yet she is a sanctuary — a refuge of good.
This morning she smiled at the simplest of things,
A box full of Twix made her spirit take wing.
May that sweetness expand in the days still to come,
May her holidays shimmer with laughter and sun.
Let her body know comfort, her mind settle still,
Let her heart float in peace as You shape every hill.
Wrap her, Lord, gently, in mercy’s embrace,
Let her feel You in silence, in sunrise, in grace.
For her life is abundant, her purpose made whole,
She is cherished, beloved, a divinely held soul.
Amen.
