Prayer of a Child No 1
Dear God, I don’t know where you are
But I know you’re up above
I am told by my Mommy
That your heart is full of love
So can you please heal her cancer
Because I need her so?
My daddy’s gone and left us
I’ve no idea where he did go
Dear God, I wouldn't ask you
If it wasn’t so important
I don’t want to be left alone
Homeless on some pavement
I don’t have any aunties
Or uncles that I know
Nor have I any cousins
Living down here below
Dear God, I need my Mommy
So I beg you to heal her today
For she’s all I have here
So please don’t delay
The doctor says she’s critical
That makes me very sad
But I know that you can heal her
I’ll try never to be bad
Dear God, I want to thank You
I’ll do that up front
Because I know you love her
You’ll be my gentle giant
Although I am just a child
I know you’ll hear my prayer
Because my Mommy told me
That for all of us you care
I’m going to tell the doctor
That you’ve got it all in hand
But he’ll probably just tell me
“Child, you don’t understand.”
