Dear God

Never let our cups go dry

Never let our wallets or bellies go empty

 

Never let this music cease

Or our bodies be arrhythmic

 

Never let my sisters stop smiling

Or allow them to let go of my hands

 

Keep this family unit solid

And far from the corners of the globe

 

Always let our laughter be joyous

Never a single unhappy tear be shed

 

Keep us in this miraculous state

As eyes, hearts, smiles all glisten

 

And please don't let the sun set, Lord

Because this is the only day you've ever listened.
