A Child's Prayer*

I set out to meet you Thick black clouds filled My sky, my dear god How do I find my way Across the sky to say Hi to you and hug you tight? My Brownie and I Got out of the house And there you roared In laughter and lighted The sky to show the way The light lasted a wink; I wanna see you, dear god. Mama says, god won't like Me getting wet in rain (A secret: She has a long List of what you don't like Me doing all the time) She says you won't hug me If I had a cold and tucks me Tight under a blanket I only hear you roar I only see you light Only through the window I wanna see you, god I wanna hug you, god Clear the clouds, quickly Won't you, my dear god... *written on request from a poet-critic. Thank you, lady :)
