Knelling weeping beside his bed, grieving
Whispering prayers to God, seeking peace of mind
Healing for sadness overwhelming and tormenting
Loss that seems too much for heart to bear.
Tells of his grandmother, darling Nana
Dying in a hospice, body ravaged by cancer
Asks for Divine intervention for her received
Into Heaven, greeted by angels, no longer in pain.
Knows he will never forget Nana and her smile
How happy she made him with cuddles and kisses.
Ends the prayer thanking God for hearing him
And having such loving understanding parents,
Teachers and classmates, and his best friend
Henry the pug dog, with delightful wagging tail.
