A poor little boy with nothing to wear
climbed up in his mother's lap clinging his filthy teddy bear.

The mother pushed him aside as she inhaled some more drugs;
All the little boy wanted was just one little hug.

With nothing to do and no one to love,
the small boy sat down to talk to the One above.

"God, if you're up there, please let my mama know,
that even though she don't love me much, God.. I love her so.
Even though she hits me and tells me to go away,
please let her know God, I love her anyway."

The only sound that could be heard was that of the rats and the roaches
but a loud thump caused the boy to turn around,
only to see his mother lifeless on the ground.
"Oh mama," he whispered.
Then a deep voice yelled, "do you want the kid dead too?"
5 short years was all the little boy got to live through.

A rich happy boy climbs up in his Father's lap,
safe and secure knowing He loves him back.
His dad wraps His arms around him and holds him very tight
as the little boy grips his father's hand with all of his might.

The Father asks the little son
"was it hard loving someone who you knew didn't love you back?"
The little boy smiled and quickly replied,
"Well, You do it all the time."
And smiling, Jesus sighed.
