Laura Leiser Poet Rhyme

A Young Family Prays

Linnie and I are bowing our heads
Down at the foot of mom and dad's bed
Kneeling and praying to God, up above
Talking in earnest, believing His Love.

Sharing our worries, our cares and concerns
Childlike faith, expressed in our words
Momma is listening, a tear in her eye
Daddy is quiet, but happy inside.

You see, as a family, we all came to Him
Together, we shared His peace from within
And I know that God smiled down from above
For our family was His, and our souls sang His Love.
