Healing Hand of God

By: Marilyn Goerig

So many prayers, so much healing;
Louie has come a long way.
Now we need to get him home;
Time for a renewed call to pray.

He made it to the hospital;
Though everyone feared he would not.
He made it through that first surgery;
All by the grace of God.

Many months of hospitalization
With progress and set backs too.
Many many miracles and prayers;
Assured all he would pull through.

As he began to gain in strength;
And his condition improved.
Everyone rejoiced at the move
To his own private room.

Again family and friends cheered;
When skin grafting began.
It seemed that maybe soon
Healing would come as planned.

Louie still has frequent surgeries
And serious problems to resolve.
We will continue to put our trust
In the healing hand of God.
