A CHILD’S PRAYER


Dear God,

I know you work in your own ways.
You give us warmth, and sunny days.
You give us rain when the ground is hard.
You give us flowers to plant in our yard.

You give us feelings so we can learn.
You give us a heart. You teach it to burn.
You give us shelter, I'm thankful for my home.
You give us parents, I'm thankful I'm not alone.

But, why did you give us the feeling of fear?
Why are we trembling, are you standing near?
I saw these two buildings fall on my sixth birthday.
God why did that happen? Was that one of your ways?

God, can you tell me why everyone is scared?
Why do people hate others just by what they wear?
Bless all the people beneath you on Earth.
Like you blessed baby Jesus on the day of His birth.

God, I know that you are up there and looking down.
Are you hurting like I am? Are you wearing a frown?
I want to be a fireman when I grow up big and strong.
I want to be on your side, God. I want to fight the wrong.

Amen.
