Sleep come take her to
hold in your arms like
a passionate love who
will wipe away the tears
of pain and despair to
wrap around her a warm
embrace to quell her
trembling there to frame
her face with her long
dark hair as a portrait
of innocence reposing so
now sleep come take her

Last week my oldest daughter, who has Lupus. had the worse flare ever and had to go to the ER in an ambulance. I was called and left work right away. I’ve watched her through the years from 12-35 getting more sick all the time but not much to do but to hope for her peace. Thank You!

Thank you Sue. She is recovering and although had cut back to parttime work where she is might take a different tact now with other options. It is best she try to remain as well as she can. Thanks for your prayers.

Thank You Pamela. She is better this week but it is a day to day thing with Lupus. She never knows and the older she gets it is harder to even have an inkling of something not right. I appreciate your thoughts.
