as she walks out the door
there’s a lie wanting to remain
that my chance of making things right
is gone

lies aren’t worth listening to
not worth believing

a mother’s heart
so vulnerable at times

by the Power of His Name
I cast out demons
heal the sick
close down hell
lift up crying hearts

yet
when my daughter moves out
I fall apart
I wonder if I walked the street right now
if someone saw my tears
if they’d offer to pray

that’s my prayer
that every one who knows God
wakes up to the world around them
and prays
to cast out demons
to heal the sick
to close down hell
to lift up crying hearts

I encourage every person
who reads this poem
to pray over someone today
and invade earth with heaven
to reveal the Heart of God
