We felt the need to write you
This note is filled with love
We soon will be departing 
In flight just like a dove.

To the land that dwells up yonder
We wanted you to know
Our hearts are ever heavy
It’s hard for us to go.

So many things to tell you
Will never come to pass
Our final days are numbered
Just like the fleeting grass.

Our lives are full of knowledge
We want to pass along
Things to be remembered
When we on earth are gone.

We pray for God’s sweet mercy
To shield your tiny face
Gently lead and guide you
Shelter you with grace.

We pray for Godly wisdom
When tempted to the brim
We pray you’ll look to Jesus
And place your trust in Him.

We pray for gentle patience
When pushed beyond the brink
We pray that you’ll be different
Won't care what others think.

We pray for peace and kindness
When you go into the street
We pray that you’ll give mercy
To strangers that you meet.

We pray the door will open
When you seek the narrow way
We pray you’ll read the Bible
Till we meet again one day.

We pray for strength and valor
When the world leads you astray
We pray you’ll look to Jesus
The Truth, the Light, the Way.

SPECIAL NOTE:
I received inspiration to write the 
above poem when a lady named "Mary"
age 75, contacted me recently and 
told me that she had a granddaughter
named "Gemma" who is just 4 months 
old and they realize that due to their
ages, they will more than likely not
live to see their granddaughter grow up.
She also told me that Gemma would 
probably not remember them and asked if
God would lay a poem on heart that could be
read to her later.  I did compose the 
poem, but it was written in a way that 
other grandparents can relate.  If you 
would care to email Mary you may do so at:
