A Child's Prayer

Well, I hope you like poetry, because that's what you are going to get! I have another poem to share with you all, this one based slightly off lines from my younger sibling's prayers as well as my own imagination. Enjoy!

A Child's Prayer

Dear God— Thank You that the trees are green And shade me when I play. Through the dancing leaves I see A sunbeam’s golden ray. Thank You for rain that falls and pools In puddles on the ground. So I can run and jump and splash And send water all around. Thank You for fireflies that shine In shadows of the night To chase and catch and hold and watch Their flash of yellow light. Thank You for butterflies that float O’er lake and field and tree, Their wings like whispers on the wind So beautiful to see. Thank You for baby sister’s laugh The smile in her eyes. I take her hand and we two have Adventures just our size. Thank You for the gift You gave That Your Son sets me free. Thank You for Your promise that You’re always here with me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
