I know you're hurting
I know you feel lost
I understand how it feels
To be trapped in a fog

I see your confusion
I see that you're drifting
You seem to be wandering
Without a direction

I know what you've been through
The heartache and pain
It hurts me to see you
Hurt again and again

Hang onto us, Kara
And hang onto God
Let your heart be healed
As you feel all our love

May peace finally find you
Gently rocking you in arms
Full of compassion
Safe from harm

May your spirit be refreshed
By a soft breeze from God
May He pour down His love
Like rain from the clouds

May you stand up tall
Like the trees that you love
May God send down His blessings
From Heaven above

May you bloom like a flower
And flow like a river
May you finally feel joy
Instead of dark terror

Though you aren't flesh of our flesh
Nor bone of our bone
We love you without end
And we are your home

When you feel like giving up
Be safe in our care
When you're hurt and alone
Be healed by our prayers

When you think you're worth nothing
Look deep in our eyes
Believe in our love
Not Satan's lies

Kara, forgive yourself
You are only a child
Let go of the past
Let go of the wild

Kara, look to the sky
Study the birds
Their needs are met
Their cries are heard

The Lord created you
You were meant to be
He has plans for your life
He will set your heart free

We do not know the future
There are things we can't tell
But this is my prayer
Kara, please get well
 

I’ve put away the clouded past
Looking forward to the new
I appreciate so much more
The friend I’ve found in you

I’ve given up my selfish pride
Stubborn ways, at best
I’ve long begun the arduous path
Of leaving all the rest

I’ve searched my heart for what seemed like hours
I’ve ached from emotions I found
I’ve fervently mended the brokeness
I’ve been healed of those deep wounds

I’ve struggled hard with losing
My home within your heart
I’ve had to hold my feelings back
I’ve needed time apart

I’ve tried to understand your ways
I've given up my needs
I’ve learned about what it truly means
To love unselfishly

For the man of character I see in you
For the cherished friend that you’ve become
For the way you’ve touched every part of my life
For the experience of our minds being one

I would travel any distance, though far
I would go to the ends of the earth
To prove how very deeply I care
To prove how much you’re worth
 

Return butterfly
Shiver to touch me
Flutter my soul
Passion consuming

Love's dew surround me
Make my spirit wet
Desire encircle me
Softly descend upon my flesh

Endless trail of tears
Evidence of love unreachable
Soak parched land
Seep deep into dry soil

Heart beat faster
Flow blood to hidden places
Nourish the seed of my dream
Sleeping in empty spaces

Throbbing where I lay
Awaken me anew
To things unseen by me
To a touch I never knew

Mystery be seen in eyes
Stare inside of me
Open wide my book
Find vulnerability

Command attention
May I not look away
Frightened glance releasing
Inhibition stray

Stranger, return!
