A Prayer For the Elderly

I prayed today for the elderly They long to hear for you to say Words of love and words of praise With acts of kindness they once gave. And if you’re going by their way They’d like for you to stop and pay A visit where you both can play Disregard what you may. Before their heads they shall lay At night before the sun and it’s ray When they bow their heads as they pray Praying you and everyone will be okay. Brenda Elizabeth Rose

The elderly who once served, who gave and also prayed for others, need prayer, especially in their helpless states! Thanks for sharing and God bless.
