Here’s an old plaque with a poem written on it that I found in Aunt Jenny’s things. Through all these years, she had purposefully kept it. In fact, I think she told me one of her nieces or nephews had given it to her (maybe Scotty) —

I Said A Prayer For You Today

I said a prayer for you today and know God must have heard —

I felt the answer in my heart although He spoke no word

I didn’t ask for wealth or fame; I knew you wouldn’t mind.

I asked Him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind.

I asked that He’d be near you at the start of each new day.

To grant you health and blessings and friends to share your way.

I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small,

but it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.
