Dear God,
Every day I think of this close friend of mine -
You know her name.
Every day, Lord, I ask You to heal her,
Yet nothing happens.
I know I just have to believe
But, oh Father, I feel so small and powerless,
Sometimes I'm afraid my voice might be too fragile,
So You can't hear me.
Lord, I know this is not true.
I know You can hear me,
I know You are listening right now.
I know You can heal all diseases,
So please, Lord...
From the bottom of my heart
I ask You
To mend her sick body,
So she retrieves the strength
To praise You, Lord, every day.
Amen

Oh such a beautiful poem/prayer. So very sad, but so humble in your request.

Beautifully said, dear poet...
I share your thoughts so often. 
Then I remind myself that if we were continually healed, forever... we would never die and that condition of life eternal is not meant to be here on Earth, in mortality. We need to die so we can progress to the next realm... as sad as that might be for us to experience.

This is a very good poem and speaks to the reader in a personal way. I would capitalize the beginning of each line. I love the last line!
