A Child’s Prayer
Dear God
I’m just a little boy
My Papa
He is gone
Just my mama and I
My sister, I do not know
Where she is
Dear God
As I kneel by my bed
To pray to you
My eyes are blurring
The tears they flow
Every night
Dear God
Please help me
Find my papa
My dear sister
They mean the whole world
To me
My papa
My mama
And my sister
Dear God
Please answer my prayers
I love my papa
I love my mamma
And my dear sister
Dear God
That is all I want
Is my papa
My sister
To come home
To be with mama and I
Dear God
I do not ask
Much from you
I know you are busy
I am just a little boy
My heart aches
For my family
Dear God
They are all I have
All I want
To be with
My papa
My mama
My sister
Thank you God
For listening to me
