The Little Kid

Posted on by Marla
This is dedicated to all the children that are hurting at this time of year even to the little kid within each adult!
 
Dear God,
I know you have lots of things to do
You must be very busy this time of year
I heard, though, that you are never too busy
To hear each-and-every prayer
Even though I’m way down here
And you are way up there…
God, I need to ask you a favor
You see, mommy and daddy used to be
Kind and loving and happy
They used to pray and laugh and sing
But lately…they only bring…
Tears and hard words they sling…
Not knowing I hear them late at night
God, I don’t think everything is alright…
I’m only a little kid…was it something I did
To make them so unhappy instead
Of holding hands and bowing heads
A thankful heart at breakfast said…
Give us this day our daily bread…
What happened God
To many tears I shed
When no one sees me, and I lie frightened in my bed…
God, can you send help in my time of need
Giving love, planting seeds…
Of forgiveness, instead of greed
Some write letters to Santa, for toys and games
But if it’s all the same
I’m writing to you God
Heal mommy and daddy’s heart
Give them a do-over; with a brand new start…
Make them stop yelling,
So there’s no more hurt and no more blame…
This is all I ask God…in Jesus name…
Love,
The Little Kid

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
