"Her Mother Needs Her Here"
Tonight when I laid my grand baby down to sleep
I prayed to The Lord; would He her soul to keep
If it was in His bid my grand baby take
In the nighttime before she did wake
Then after I spoke those words to Him
I supposed what was meant of them
I knew it meant forever she'd be at peace with her Father
In His heaven up above kept in His love but even farther
It meant I'd have to face the next morn
With her life gone, and mine in mourn
And upon my daughters face would be worn
The devastation of from her baby away torn
So I asked God would He
Take instead of she, me
She's an innocent child
Sweet, meek and mild
She is full of goodness and of charm
And does not bear any kind of harm
To anything nor to anyone ...
But she's special to someone
She has a tender pure heart of gold
And she boldly loves those us of old
As being a child she loves everyone
She lays no judgment upon no one
And she's much too innocent
To have a need for to repent
Of any sins she might have done
For she is not guilty of even one
So would You keep a watch over her
For the sake of me her grandmother
So in the morning light life again she'll see
Lord would You answer this prayer for me
For as I see it, it's much too soon for her to go
So I am asking You to let her stay here below
She's an innocent child
Sweet, meek and mild
So if it's in Your bid a life take
In the night before we awake
Lord God take instead of hers, mine
As she is the light and the sunshine
To someone who that I hold dear
"Her Mother Needs Her Here"

Dear Heavenly Father, Praises be raised to You
For understanding what I've asked of You to do
In "A Mothers Grandmothers Prayer"
Amen ...
