PRAYER AT LYNDI'S FUNERAL

Ginn Fourie
3 January 1994

Gracious Parent, Great Spirit
You gave your only Son
to bring healing for every soul on earth

Thank you for our only daughter
May healing come through her death
to each person she touched - especially those who murdered her

Mary, Mother of God our children died at the hands of evil men
Lyndi had no choice, no time
But your son said it for her:
“Father forgive them they do not know what they do”

We gave her bed and board and some love
You gave her forgiveness and a love that was:
honest,
pure,
selfless,
colour and gender free.

Dear God she taught me well of you
able to listen,
able to hear.

That was her life that you gave her
Her death was swift and painless, thank goodness

My heart is broken
The hole is bottomless
it will not end
But you know all about it.

Thankyou for the arms,
the lips,
the heartbeats
of family and friends to carry us.

I trust you with my precious Lyndi
This planet is a dangerous place to live
I know that you will come soon to fetch us
I wish it were today
But I will wait for your time.
