Weekly Prayers & Poems - A Little Boy's Prayer

Thursday August 7, 2008
This week's post is a member-submitted Christian poem called A Little Boy's Prayer. It is the heart-felt, bedtime prayer of a young boy who misses his father.
    A Little Boy's Prayer

    In the darkness of the night the little boy slips out of bed,
    Drops to his knees, shuts his big blue eyes, and bows his head.

    Dear Jesus, please don't get mad for it's only me again,
    You know I love you, and you always do what you can.

    Each night I talk to you and ask the same things over and over.
    And I'm sure by now you know I have a new dog named Rover.
