Inspired by Sarah Hale Folger
-“Prayer for My Family”
It’s been the biggest part of me
The longing for home
Home is where my people are
For many years I was separated
Holidays were heartbreaking
Life was incomplete without them
God blessed me with my own
Three amazing daughters
Who have multiplied
My fifth grandchild is on the way
Four boys and a girl
I came from that equation
The only daughter
Four brothers
What a childhood I had
Like no other
Raised in a zoo of sorts
The animal kingdom
Was more comfortable for me
Than the world of humans
But now I feel the joy of knowing
Life gives you lemons
Make lemonade
And I am grateful
With All My Heart
For each and every one
Of my family and friends
Who have enriched my life
In hard times and in good
And now for the gift of
The protector of my heart
My Johnny I
My prayer is for peace and joy
For health and happiness
For more times together
For we are greater together
Than apart, way too much of that
May we find what we look for
And may the laughter increase

This song above I wrote many years ago when I had 2 toddlers and someone gave me a piano for a month, then took it back. LOL! One day this song, which never comes out the same way twice came to me. My heart was reaching out in a prayer as I played – reaching towards home.. back to the State I came from. I missed them so much, but this song gave me hope. This song was recently chosen to be in the upcoming film 25 The Documentary of Tony Conigliaro, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I recorded it in one take, it is not perfect, just like me. But I give it to you if your heart needs a song today and a prayer may it give you peace and hope and comfort if you are waiting for a miracle.
