I Sat and Prayed Today - Poem

My lovely grandma, I sat and prayed today
I prayed for wisdom and sight to find my way
Into inner peace where you always seemed to be
I remember your smile and powerful words to me

Me Hita, be faithful and always pray
God will never deceive and always has a way
To teach us when we're ready to know
How life guides us so that we may grow

Into powerful spiritual beings
With big, beautiful and soaring wings
To glide through life learning as we go
That God is more powerful than we know

Thank you God for my precious guide
Who brought to me gifts I will not hide
Grandma, your life light is still aglow
Always reminding me that it is good to know

The most difficult answers as to the "why's"
And that ignorance leads us only to lies
Or even leads us nowhere at all
Destined to land face first when we fall
