The Journey: Bare Essence of Me

Angels Can Say Prayers Too

Mother, as I received your prayers last night in the heavens up above, I wondered if you knew that Angels can say prayers too. I pray for you throughout the day, because I know that you are in dismay. And although my days are no longer spent with you, know that I will always say these prayers for you.
In the morning when you rise and you are unwilling to face another day without me, be still. God will soothe and heal your soul. He will give you the will and strength to go on. And so you do, this is my prayer for you.
As the evening befalls you and a gentle breeze lightly caresses your face, know that it is just me touching you with God's grace. And through it all because you kept your faith, you are now held in God's pure and loving embrace.
Night has suddenly come and slumber has eluded you. You cry for me. God knew you never wanted to say good bye to me. He has heard your cries and placed me, his Angel, at your side. As you fall to sleep and I sway you in my arms, your tears and woes will no longer weigh your soul.
Each day that you greet a new sunrise, please know that your love given freely to me, allowed me to become the man God wanted me to be. I was a man of strength and deep compassion that lived his life with complete and pure passion.
And so unto you, as a son can only do, I now return this love back to you.
“I Love You.”
