Notes About The Poem

A prayer for all my grand-children but, for Mali in particular she is in the process of having a bone marrow transplant and needs all our prayers.

Please follow Mali's progress at: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/mali
My youngest grand-baby needs your prayers. Thank you

Grandpa's Prayer

Believe in God's Heaven, your wishes will soar, 
to be heard by family inside heaven's door. 

Tell grandpa and grandma, my daughter, your son 
of raising your children in the Florida sun. 

The Great Spirit will listen, to the words that you speak 
and judge from your heart, if your spirit is weak. 

He will fill heart and spirit to carry the fight, 
through the darkness ahead, trust in the light 

For peace in the darkness, speak with your friends, 
know wisdom and guidance, will be what he sends 

Not fearing the darkness, enter it strong 
praying his answer will come with a song. 

Your wishes will soar to the heavens above, 
through family and friends about the one that you love. 

I'm not a prophet, seer or fool, 
just a man who lives by this earthly rule . 

Children are treasures, as I speak to the sky 
that they should enjoy life, long after I die. 

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride 
When prayers are answered, your children will thrive.
