Dear God, please bless this foolish child Who mourns the loss of strangers, wild animals, and nature Who prays for peace but does not have the strength to stand up for it Who wishes to know everything but cannot read Who weeps because life is crueler than death

Foolish Child
Dear God, please bless this foolish child Who mourns the loss of strangers, wild animals, and nature Who prays for peace but does not have the strength to stand up for it Who wishes to know everything but cannot read Who weeps because life is crueler than death
