K. J. Broadhurst - A Parents Prayer

Behind the walls that few can see

Are the children who have left us

Watching patiently never leaving us be

They are the candles to our soul

Burning away our tears

And the pains that take there toll

They do not like to see us sad

Or to watch us frown upon the world

Thinking it nothing but bad

When we are happy they are close

When we are sad they love us the most

Just remember that they are well and safe

All they need from you

Is to have faith

K. J. Broadhurst
