Prayer Poems
A prayer from a five year old me
Diosito if you can help papi,
Wipe the white dust off his nose,
And let him remember my name,
My face, even when his eyes
Are lost somewhere
Bring him back
And keep him here with us.
Melt the soft belly of his feet
To the ground
And let him stick for me,
I’ll be thankful.
I don’t need much
Just mami and papi
And less bottles,
And belts,
And bad words,
Then I can be happy.

Wipe the white dust off his nose,
And let him remember my name,
My face, even when his eyes

And keep him here with us.
Melt the soft belly of his feet
To the ground
And let him stick for me,
I’ll be thankful.
I don’t need much
Just mami and papi
And less bottles,
And belts,
And bad words,
Then I can be happy.
