When the little boy lays down one night, he said a prayer so sweet, and bright. <br />He said to, God, up in the sky; <br />'God, bless daddy, mommy, and me. <br />If I've said or done any wrong, <br />bless me for being dumb. <br />Bless my dog dear lord, and may he sleep well, <br />And please, God, don't send, Scooby Doo, to Hell. <br />He didn't mean to bite the mailman like that, <br />But, God, it's just that he thought the mailman was wearing a dogcatcher's hat. <br />God, please forgive sis for slapping me so hard, <br />Cause I just broke her electric guitar. <br />Mom done yelled, and daddy slapped me hard. <br />And, God, when, Jimmy gets home, hide his toy car, <br />I didn't mean to throw it that hard. <br />Please, God, give me a helping hand, <br />And if I should mess up anymore, <br />bless me lots just like before.<br /><br />Velmar Pewee Hale Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/listen-to-a-child-s-prayer/
