Our friend, Shirley Richter, wrote us this poem before our move to Brazil. Her husband Jay, is the president of the Christian radio station KRQC, in Davenport, Iowa. Andrew was his right hand man while we were there, which will explain the adorable punch line at the end of the poem. Thanks Shirley! :)

Our Prayer

As we send you on your way

To a home far away

We assure you we will pray

For your safety day by day

For no distance can erase

The sweet memories we trace

Of the friendship so true

That we have found in you

We'll thank God for you

As you seek adventures new

And pray that He will guide

And stay close by your side

We will pray for His love

To keep your hearts from above

In all of your trials

You'll face across the miles

Now in case you failed to know

Our feelings deep we will show

For our constant prayer will be

Hurry back to KRQC!!
