Amends

Since I don't know just what to say
I can only think and pray
Think of how I hurt for you
And pray for God to make you new
Pray for things to be made right
Pray for you to sleep at night
Pray that you'd be free of pain
Pray that God would be your cane
An aid to help you walk through this
A strength when health and joy you miss
And on whom you can rely
When all you want to do is cry
We've had our differences, it's true
But please believe I do love you
Through twenty years of being kin
We've learned the meaning "thick or thin"
Please forgive the times I've erred
Though sometimes wrong, I've always cared
