If I could go and speak to god <br />I would tell him many things <br />Save the world. stop all hurt <br />Happiness can you bring <br /> <br />I would talk about so many things <br />To make the world just right <br />Peace and love no hate no pain <br />I could end the famine fight <br /> <br />But now that you are gravely ill <br />I would mention one more thing <br />Please be kind to my poor child <br />Make them well again. <br /> <br />I want to save all in the world <br />I want to make it right <br />But when I hear my child cry out <br />I only have one fight <br /> <br />So please dear lord do all you can <br />To make it right for others <br />But spare a thought for my poor child <br />I say this as their mother. <br /> <br />So when You look around your garden <br />And see an empty place. <br />don’t look down upon the earth, <br />And see their tired face. <br /> <br />Don’t take them far away from me <br />Don’t pluck them from our home <br />Make them well and leave them here <br />Leave them well alone <br /> <br />That’s all I have to say to you <br />A selfish as it sounds <br />Don’t leave my prayer unanswered <br />On cold and stony ground.<br /><br />jack frost<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mothers-prayer/
