Dear sisters,
read the blogs, think many of us are feeling down, probable the entire church is. Can't help thinking of Hannah. So thoughts just flowed. Forgive this unpolished poem of mine.

Letting Go- A tribute to Hannah, Samuel's mother
You have waited years for this moment.
Tears of pain and sorrow had been your lament
Finally today, with a surrendered spirit, to the temple you went
You choose to let go and peace the Lord immediately sent
How could Eli ever understand
A heart of pain that only God could comprehend
You made a vow to let the child go
God heard and blessing he did bestow
Did you feel a complete joy as you cradle your only son
Or was it mixed with fear knowing that the Lord's Will would be done
In three to four years' time when he is weaned
You shall not see him as often as you yearned
I respect you deeply from the bottom of my heart
You are a Woman of God, with many lessons to impart
Your act seems simple as you let your Samuel go
Your faith is big as your Samuel you let God hold
Through the millenuims that separate you and us
Still the same simple faith is what we ask
To Let Go and let God take control
We need to pray and prayers must be bold
Letting go is letting God take contol and stop being blue
Maybe it is putting a child in a school no longer ours to rule
Perhaps we are called to let go of a sin that we are enslaved to
Perhaps letting go a loved one is what God is helping us do
Let Go and Let God
It is never easy
Thank you Hannah
Your decision has changed lives
During your time and mine
