WILL YOU PLEASE JUST TRY
I won’t, I won’t, no, I will not, not cry!
God, I can feel You, will You please just try
to get my Mom and Dad to remember
The Golden Rule right now, both together?
They started a loud fuss when we ate lunch.
I ran here, God, ‘cause it hurt me a bunch.
I gave Your six ducks my sandwich to keep.
Could I become a duck by sinking real deep?
God, I’m still too small for most adult things,
but, I know they are wearing their love rings –
Put them on in our car when we drove here.
I saw Dad kiss Mom underneath her ear!
This morning, we all laughed silly ‘bout germs
‘cause Dad got Mom to touch the fishing worms.
You saw that, God – here on this same duck dock,
where they smiled and bubbled the lake with rocks.
Two days ago, we drove here wanting fun.
When we saw our cabin, I had to run!
We hiked, swam and cooked dirty marshmellow sticks.
My Daddy took many keep for always pics.
We were supposed to hike to a fairground,
but I’m alone and hope You are around.
Just me, bright sun, blue, green, then blue again.
I pray You do Your thing. Your friend. Amen.
