Explore "A Little Child's Prayer" by Ruth Collie on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
My prayer is such a little thing, it might get lost and go astray. / Are you, dear God, now listening to what I say? I wish to thank You / for the sun that kissed, this morn, my sleeping eyes; for all the / happy things I've done since I did rise. For gift of sound and gift / of sight; for feet that skip so merrily; for food and warmth, and / each delight You gave to me. I thank You for my mother dear; I thank / You for my father kind; and for the star that watches near -- behind / the blind. So many Grown-ups show me love, though I'm a child and / still quite small. Look down upon them from above and, please God, / bless them all. And now, dear God, I'll say "Good-night," and may / Your angels guard my bed until You send Your morning light to wake / this Sleepy Head.
