Dear Heavenly Daddy, a Child's Prayer

I know You live way up in the sky and You're someone I can never see. If You live so very far away... Are You able to take care of me? And do You know I like to play make believe, and I'm not always who I pretend to be? Do You really know everything? And can You see inside my head? Do You know what games I like to play and that my favorite color is red? And I hope I can trust in You to slay the monster underneath my bed. Can I count on You to go to school with me each day? And if I have a hard test to take, will you help me to get an "A"? And at the end of my school day, will You make sure I have time to play? Will You be there when I wake up each morning? And will You go to bed with me each night? I think You know I'm still afraid of the dark. Can I count on You to be my light? And will You chase away every scary dream so I don't have to wake up in a fright? I really try so hard to be good. So please don't punish me if I'm bad. And though most of the time I'm happy, will You promise to comfort me when I'm sad? Dear Heavenly Daddy, I find You so easy to love cause You're alot like my mom and dad.

An unusual poem, but a GREAT poem. A lot of thought went into this one. It's wonderful that a child could have this conception about God. Good writing. Colan
