JACKSON, MY GRANDSON
by Mariane Holbrook
I may not be around to see you hold your own
dear son
Or be among the throngs applauding honors you have won.
If I知 not there to see your bride as she walks down the aisle,
You値l know I知 looking down from heaven with a glowing smile.
I knew when I first looked into your eyes so
deep and blue
That God had something wonderful in mind for you to do.
And like so many others, I have covered you with prayer
That you would know God痴 will for you and claim it as His heir.
The world you値l live in will be different
from the world I致e known
But God will be your shield and you will never be alone.
And He has promised that He値l keep you strong and safe for me
Until we値l be in heaven together for eternity.
