A Childs Prayer

How shall I wish upon a star
When it’s twinkling glow from my window
Seems so far?

I sit alone 
Afraid and lonely,
Wondering when the angels will bring me light; 
Lord, I pray to You,
Please be with me and protect me throughout the night. 

Make tomorrow a better day,
Help me do right from wrong;
So that my mommy and daddy will not yell and curse at me
All day long. 

Lord, I know that You love me,
My Bible says You do;
I hope someday soon,
My mommy and daddy will love me too.
