Dear God, I pray he's treated right
and protected from all that gives him fright.
Protect his heart from kids who make fun
because he's too fat or too dumb.
If he's too skinny or too smart,
please still God protect his heart.
He's so happy and free with joy,
I'd hate to see that be destroyed.
Help him learn from his mistakes,
and never give him more then he can take.
Give him all the love he needs
and bless him with the joy that makes him free.
Save him from the pain life brings,
and make his little heart sing.
Please God, don't let the world take it away.
It's to precious to let decay.
So God, I beg you please,
Protect him from what he sees.
Let him see life in a different light,
Let him see darkness as a starry night.
So God, please make his heart very strong,
and spread to the world his happy song.
A Prayer For All Children
