A child's song

by Kees

A day ago in your time I looked down on the beautiful chaos For a childs song has reached my ears What a beautiful song it was Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep If I should die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take That was not what caught my attention The child did not feel like that simple prayer was enough so he began his song Please forgive me for all my sins I lied to my mom I stole from the grocery store I did so much more Do you really forgive I hope so Cause I want everyone to go to heaven I haven't seen anyone that hasn't sined Hell doesn't sound like a great place Can you help me and my family Guide us to heaven Help my friends Help all of us Stop the fighting I hate it I just want everyone to be happy Thank you for listening Amen And so I placed the signs gave the chances Showed the way A little extra for the child That's all I can do So I wrote this letter to you child just for when the times get hard to say Im here and I love you
