“Lola (grandma), please sleep with me.
I’m afraid of the dark. I’m afraid of the ghosts.”
Okay, my dear, as I snuggle in his warm bed.
With some patting and gentle rub
Like a log, he’s sleeping, that sweet little kid.
In my nest is a princess who would recite this lines.
“At night I sleep with Mommy and Daddy.
And I sleep with you, Lola, when it is daytime.”
After her bath, as I help her put on her underwear.
“Lola, this one you bought for me.”
Oh, she does remember but it’s been a year.
I need to buy a new gift. That will surely make her happy.
There are other chores, and calls and chats
Just to check if my eaglets are safe and not in lack
Everyday I strive to be this kind of woman,
Her description you’ll find in Proverbs 31.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.”
Father, thank You for this great privilege
That you entrusted a full tribe to my care.
As I do my task and raise them loving You.
May they give You glory, I offer them all to You,”
Love, love, love ...
