All Night Vigil

My prayersgoes out to you tonight,
A prayer for hope, and grace;
I miss your smile, I miss your hugs,
I long to see your face;
The distance come between us
Is really not that far
At least in terms of land and sea -
I know right where you are.

A prayer goes out from me tonight
A prayer of love, and joy
A missed remembrance, tears have shed,
And all about me time is dead,
And all I want is your bright face
Come back to me, come find a place
Where we can write and laugh and talk -
And never ever facebook stalk -
And get our schoolwork done.

A prayer goes out for me tonight
A prayer more desperate still;
A prayer that in this madness I
Will learn to do His will.
I don't know how to listen, or
To sit and just be loved.
But my work and heart and hopes and prayers
Are more now works of love.
