Middle of the Night

3:13

I can’t sleep

Visions so deep

Thoughts in between

Where’d we go wrong

A daughter lost

Help at any cost

Trying to remain strong

I can’t see why

Things are so inapt

How do we adapt

Before the final goodbye

To all her potential

To all her hopes, dreams

Her goals they don’t seem

Help is essential

I pray this night

The strength from God

I can no longer prod

Intervention in sight

Pray for us please

A daughter slipping away

For I can’t sleep on this day

Pray for guidance to help her see
