To Lauri, Lisa, Lesli & Pete Jr. I Said A Little Prayer I said a little prayer just a while ago, For your mother to get better, I know you love her so. And as my prayer ended an Angel said to me; You too could use a prayer so I got back on my knees. The Angel then reminded me God knows what is best; If we will give our cares to Him, He will do the rest. Now she sits beside Him in His mansion up above; And we will share her memories embedded with her love. Cynde Marie Copyright Cynde Marie, All Rights Reserved
