This morning, my thoughts travel alone
to a place in my life of days long gone.
Beholding an image of what I used to be.
I saw a vision and God spoke to me.
He showed me a warrior, a soldier in place position by heaven, but I couldn't see the face.
I watched is the warrior fight enemies that came from darkness with destruction for me I saw as the warrior dried away her tears, as all of heaven's angels hovered so near.
I saw many wounds on the warriors face,
as weapons of warfare were put firmly in place.
I felt my heart weeping. My eyes held so much then God let me feel the Warriors prayer touch. I thought how familiar the words that were prayed the prayer was like lightning that never would fade.
I asked God please give me her name he gave no reply. He chose to refrain Lord, who is broken that needs so much prayer. Then he showed me an image of myself standing there  Bound by confusion lost in alone. I felt those prayers of the warrior carry home.
I asked please show me Lord this warrior, so true I watched and I wept, for mother it was you.
