A little boy isn't happy about his new baby brother.
Sammy's Prayer
by BethShelby
Dear God, I need to talk to you,
if you've got the time to spare. I am sure you're awfully busy, but I hope you'll hear my prayer. Remember when I asked if you would send to me a brother? I think you didn't understand, and neither did my mother. I didn't want a baby one. All he does is cry all day. I wanted one who's just my size, one who's big enough to play. I think Mommy really likes him, maybe even more than me. But I'm sure he's much more trouble than a bigger boy would be. Do you think we could exchange him? If you can't a dog will do. Maybe someone else would like him, if they don't mind cleaning poo. Mommy says I should say 'thank you' ev'ry time I talk to you. So I'm thanking you for lis'ning. Now, I think my prayer is through. This is Sammy signing off now. I'll try hard to not be bad. One more thing before I quit though, please bless Mommy and my dad. |
