BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE Louise Nanni, July 24, 1937 - October 25, 2005

GRANDMA'S PRAYER

Grandchildren are God's special gift

To let every grandma know

That the Lord has set aside a special prayer

For when you're feeling low.

I'm not sure if I have all the words

But they came straight from God's heart

To let each grandma always know

They're loved right from the start.

Dear Grandma when I awoke today

And saw that great big sun

I knew you put it in the sky

So we could go out and have some fun.

And when I heard the robins sing

And listened to their happy tune

I remembered how you sang me to sleep

I hope you show up soon.

And when I saw that yellow butterfly

Land upon my window sill

The beauty I saw in front of me

Reminded me of my Grandma, I know it always will.

I got up then and knelt and prayed

To Lord Jesus in the sky

I thanked Him for all these beautiful things and for taking

Care of my precious grandma

But I had one more prayer before I said goodbye.

Dear God, when you see Grandma

Tell her we miss her very much

We know she is watching over us every day

Giving us the strength to go on and

Become the adult she would be so proud of

Send an angel to keep her safe from harm

Then send her here to play with me

I feel safe inside My Grandma's arms.
