MY PRAYER
Is there room in your heaven
Oh Lord up above
For my dearest friend, Annie
Whom I so deeply loved?
She came to me orphaned
Just eight years ago
I miss her so deeply
I'm sure that you know.
She brought earth such joy
With her sweet, gentle way
It's still quite the mystery
Why she left me that day
She died in my arms
There was nothing to do
I only had one choice
That was give her to you
I told her I'd meet her
When my life ended too
That way we'd be happy
And we'd both be with you
So your eye's on the sparrow
And I know this is true
Dear Lord, be with Annie
She trusted you too.
Annie's life on earth began 08/94
Annie's life in heaven began 07/05/02
