Phatt Matt Poet I do not know?

A Prayer For a Grandchild

Dear Lord 
Here is my grandson
He has come a long way
Please improve his sensitivity
Everyone talks about everyone
At least most of us
Lord I worry about his disability
Send someone to look after him
Because I don't how long
You are having me here with him
We already planned this year
But You are the Almighty seer
Please guide 
and protect him from harm
I wanted him to walk
Yet he is so stubborn
I worry about his disability
I worry about him
When I'm gone too long
Please send someone
For this dear one
I am an old lady
Please Lord I implore You
Take care of him
Amen

Caren Krutsinger September 10, 2019 at 11:33 PM "Please guide and protect him from harm" - this is the prayer every grandmother and many grandfathers pray every day for their grandchildren. Phatt Matt September 11, 2019 at 12:13 PM True thanks ~ phatt

David Smith September 7, 2019 at 4:20 PM You have put into words what so many parents and grandparents feel and agonise over. Poetry and prayer does help and we need more of both particularly of this high standard. Best regards David in NZ Phatt Matt September 7, 2019 at 4:31 PM I was inspired when I caught my grandmother in prayer one morning as I awoke she was whispering it in a native tongue of which I was never taught in the end I saw she made the holy Trinity sign so I assumed she was catholic. I never confronted her about it was never my way entertaining my curiosity. Thanks ~phatt
