DEAR GOD

It’s too soon
I need more time
To spend with those
Grandkids of mine.  

Another song
A cup of juice
A kiss, a bandaid
More “ I love you’s. “

The recipes
The quilted blankets
Our talks of heaven
The stars, the planets. 

Walks in the park
Watching them play
Their cheerful smiles
That make my day. 

Please can’t I stay
Another year?
They’ll be so sad
If I’m not here. 

I’ll do my best
To live my life
The best I can
Be a good wife.

Please Dear God
Give me more time
Can’t you move
My place in line?

Come back for me
Just one more year
To watch them grow
To wipe their tears.
