A Prayer for My Daddy

Dear God

My daddy left to go to war

I really don't know why;

mommy says we're proud of him

and that we shouldn't cry.

Dear God

I'm just a little boy

but I hope you'll hear my plea;

If I promise not to cry too much

will you send him home to me?

Dear God

I have another worry

and I hate to bother you ~

Help me and grandma both be strong,

Cause mommy's going, too.
