   Prayer to My Granddaughter  

by Emma Williams 

To my Granddaughter 

I saw you tears, I feel your sorrow 

Now be still and let the Lord do His will 

Lord I lift this special woman before you 

Father you know she is very special 

Hold her tight to your chest 

Make her award of your presence and love at all times 

May your arms embrace her at all times 

Thank you, Lord for the privilege of knowing and loving her 

I thank you in Jesus name...Amen!!
