I Said a Prayer for You Today

I Said a Prayer for You Today
 
I said a prayer for you today,
     And I 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.

I love this poem! Mostly because my mother Donna Dye is the original Author. She wrote this poem for my grand father after his stroke. She then later seen an add on the local news paper about a poetry contest. She sent this poem in and she never heard about it again. About a year later we had seen it on a card in a Dollar General store. Moral of the story is never trust the small adds in anews paper.

I hoped she got a lawyer. I would have. If she didn’t sign a release to them. That is not right. People are making money off her poem.

I wrote this poem in a jail cell in 10 minutes in 1985. I showed it to one of the guards and they must have published it.
Word for word. All glory to God!
He's blessed me with so much more than money ;)

Hi Jeremie,
I came across this poem today and I searched for the author and this came up. I love this poem so much. I have a question for you. I make and sell journals and I wanted to include this poem in some of them, but I wanted to give credit to the author, hence my search to find out who the author is. So, I guess I’m asking you for your permission to include this in some of my journals. When I first searched the poem is said Author Unknown. But then I found your comment and I didn’t want to include it without your permission. Again, it’s a beautiful poem. Your Mom is very special. I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you in advance for letting me know. Linda

How lovely . A big thank you to your mother Donna. My mom gave me this when my new born daughter was in special care after sustaining a brain injury. It got me through the worst time ever. Thank you ❤️

Back in the late 60's I put this prayer in small frames and in 'Thinking of You'
cards. I also gave copies to all my co-workers. I did this for many years. It was signed author unknown. So I felt free to use it. When did your mother write this? I was just ready to send it to someone I know who doesn't believe in prayer when I ran across your post. Some have come back to thank me for remembering them in such a precious way. I give your mother all the credit for all of it.
It. What is her name?

I just sent this prayer to a Family member's and it has been one of my very favorites prayers for a very long time , I love it because it speaks from the heart and doesn’t make promises 🙏!
As far as the recognition , there are many unsung heroes in life , who do things with gladness and singleness of heart , your Mommy is one of them and you can be very proud of her ! I truly thank her for this special gift she has given to me and I am sure thousands of others .
Good luck to you , I hope you will be able to get what you feel is rightly yours !!!

I read this poem when I was a child in the 60s. Dollar General did not exist then I’m sure your mother wrote it down, but it was probably because she memorized it as a child. Not taking anything away from her, I’m sure she was a wonderful woman, but if you do your research, this poem has been in existence for over 50 years.

I just received a copy of this poem and at the bottom it says “copyright Frank J. Zamboni” or maybe Zambout, The ink got smeared so I can’t read it for sure. I certainly hope he’s related to you Jeremy, or your mother is getting ripped off again!
