A Petition, by Marie MacIntyre


Father, thy child is going home,
Please guide her on her way.
May peace her firm companion be,
Please be with her today.

Oh Father, her mind is troubled:
She doesn't know what to do.
I pray you'll lift the burden
So she can come to you.

Little Child, by Marie MacIntyre


You're far from me, my little child
But not by choice or guile,
Come spend some time in prayer with me
Relax, and rest in me awhile.

I find that you are closest when
You cry or when you smile,
Come stay with me, abide in me
I'll go that last, long mile.

A perfect Lord I am to be
To each dear precious soul,
A healing force, a loving touch
To heal and make you whole.

So be content, love, do your best
Soon you'll be fit to roam
To that wondrous heavenly place
Your soul knows as its' home.

(Marie's daughter)

A Garden Forever, by Marie MacIntyre


There is a place on earth
Though I know not where
Where life means loving others
And deeply caring for one another.

It is a place where harmony
Exists with all things
And everything is beautiful
The people there are warm
And are not afraid to say
I love you
I wish I were there.
