Grandmas Prayer

Granny’s prayer

 God bless you all, grandchildren of mine, may He keep you safe in His arms,My heart is full with love and care, I pray you come to no harm,You mean so much,  words cannot convey, I thank God for you all each and every day,As you live your lives,  play, laugh and cry, just know Granny’s love is always close by.

On the days of your births I was elated and smiling, each one inspiring love,Your parents and I were giving thanks for this gift from God above,Granddaughters, grandsons,  to me you’re the same, all welcome within my heart,Granny’s love will  keep us close, be it near or far apart.

So no matter who may have our hearts, nor to whom we may belong,My love for everyone of you is set forever strong.A granny’s love is precious,  may warmth and comfort flow,My love will always be with you, no matter where you go.

Fairies

Gossamer wings fluttering by, magical wishes for you and I,

Fairies,elves,pixies too,do you believe?I certainly do,

 I  Saw one today as it flew through the air,

Long velvet gown and flaxen hair,

She looked like a queen,tiara of gold,

Her smile when she saw me was a truth being told,

Yes I exist she seemed to say,and in your garden I aim to play,

I whispered low I knew she was real ,

Her wand she did wave and magic reveal,

Sprinking fairy dust over flowers and trees,

their swaying gave thanks in a warm summer breeze,

She blew me a kiss and went on her way,

Leaving me smiling and believing today.
