In bed it’s time for what I do,
but of course, I do pray for you.
Now I forgot to say your name !
So my prayer was not the same.
I didn’t know what you could need,
(or that this poem you would read.)
But then the Lord reminded me,
and my brain helped me to see —
Apologies won’t do,
But God never forgets YOU.
So, then I wrote down a list;
there your name will not be missed.
Good health, enough money, too . . .
Challenges God will bring you through . . .
Good weather as you jog that mile . . .
People you’ll see give you a smile.
You will have how many more years ?
If I go first, you can shed some tears . . .
Talk to Him each day in prayer --
Reminds us ALL to show our care.
Life can be very short — or long !
Thank the Lord with prayer and song !
