Great-Grandma


This says it's all:






A Great Grandmother's Prayer
Submitted by:
Ladybeth
Author: Barbara Burrows




Oh Lord, I do not ask for much,



Eternal beauty, or youth, or such.


Just give me a little hand to hold,


And I'll forget that I'm growing old.





I do not ask for cloudless skies,


A life that's free from tears and sighs.


Just give me a little face to kiss,


And anxious moments will turn to bliss.





For what is there, really, that means so much


As little hands that reach and touch,


As little eyes that search and see


Only the best in fragile me?





So let me grow more loving and wise


By looking at life through their wide eyes.


For through these little ones, you have given


This grateful great grandmother a glimpse of Heaven.
