#75 Short Prayers

I really enjoy the contests where we need to say a lot with a few words. So I want to try one of my own.

I want a short prayer to help my family in dealing with Chloe’s death. ( For those that don’t know. Chloe Lane is my granddaughter and she died in March at 5 weeks old.).

If you want to know more about her, I have a list on my page for her poems.
No line limit but please try to keep it short.

    I was sorry to hear about your loss. I have some prayers in my PWs and will enter one of them if I can find anything suitable.

    Take care of yourself.
