Dear Mr. God
I'm
sorry for keepin' ya up late. But, I wanna
know If'n you're too busy, I can
wait.
You see grandma's been
forgettin' A lot of things. Mamma says so. She
forgot my name, today, Mr. God, And she's a walkin'
kinda slow.
Yesterday,
she jest left Without even sayin' bye. Daddy
brought her back and He had a tear in his
eye.
So,
I was wonderin', can you fix her? She has somthun'
called 'all tizers', daddy said. She forgets who we
are sometimes, And she forgot that grandpa's
dead.
Mr.
God, you give her a new brememberer 'Cause I miss
her playin', and stuff, with me And the cookies she
used to bake. And, she was so smart, wasn't
she?
She
used to talk 'bout you a lot. Now, she jest talks
to herself and, Mr. God, she don't know
herself From the pictures on the
shelf.
Sometimes,
she calls me 'little boy' And pats my cheek or
hair. And she don't seem to care.
Please,
Mr. God, Will ya fix her, all new again, A'fore
she gets lost and Can't bremember where she's
been?
She
ain't sang a Jesus song Like I like to hear her to
do. Daddy says 'cause she is getting old. But,
she's not as old as you.
Daddy
says you never forget and You are older than
anyone, anywhere. Mamma says, "All we can do is
Bremember her in prayer.
So,
Mr. God, I'm jest askin' 'Cause I don't know how to
pray. 'Cause you un'erstand what I try to
say.
Does
Jesus have a grandma And does she forget people,
too? I guess she would be your mommy And
wouldn't she be older than you?
Well,
I gotta go to bed. Would ya keep grandma safe, O
please, So as she won't wander off and get
lost? She forgets her hat and coat, and she
could freeze.
I
love her lots and I wish she bremember I'm her
little Andy And bake some good cookies for
me, And even share my candy.
Tell
my friend, Jesus, I was here and Give Him a hug
from grandma and me. She used to know Him and I
heard her say, "Thank you, Jesus, for little
Andy."
Good
night, Mr. God. Are ya tired? You work, so hard,
all day. I'll be back a'morrow, to visit, Before
I go out to play.
Thank you - Andy
