For the Love of My Grandson

Grandson exchanging places 
With you if I could
I am uncomfortable with strange faces
But if I could I would exchange

If I could take your DNA
And make it mine
I would if I could
My life is used up

Most of it behind
You have the future
To grab onto
I could let go

Slip into eternity
I love God and he
Loves me
We are close  companions

But I can't
I am suffering
Just as you are
My constant
 
Thoughts are
Will God heal
Will there be
A cure

I am wasting away
Externally
But God is 
Renewing inner being

Soon I'll go home
Will I live long 
Enough to care
For you

That is one of my daily 
Prayers that I plead
Love you always
God grant me the 

Serenity to accept
Those things 
That I cannot 
Change

Help me 
Give me strength 
To change those
Things that I can
