Grama's Happy Prayer

I try to make my laughing prayers

Run right up the sky

Each day I pray for my wee ones

Pray God don’t let them cry

Watch each precious step they take

Be there if they fall

Send angels all about their heads

Watch over one and all

Oh Lord, they are so special

This brown-eyed bunch I love

Send angels every day to them

And watch them from above

Guide each little step they take

Keep their priceless minds

Hold each dear heart close to you

Help them to be kind

Comfort us who guide them

And help us do what’s right

Bring your angels daily near

And keep watch o’er the night

  

Amen

The Courtesy Counter

I am at the courtesy counter

They said I should come here

I need a refund you see, (for the life I’ve lived so far)

Isn’t what it was supposed to be.

I’m in the loser line up

Waiting for the money back guarantee

They told me to keep my ticket

And I got number thirty-three.

I’m hoping they take my receipt

For it is old and worn and torn

And I hope they see my cheerful smile

Not the war-torn tear forlorn.

I’ve waited for the bonus part

That never did show up

And now I want the lay away plan

For my time is almost up.
