My heart is touched by the sight of a sweet child in prayer
Each verse goes straight to heaven without a moment to spare
Their requests are not cluttered with this world's "I wants"
A child who prays is pure and free of the devil's taunts.
Children when taught to pray are bathed in a special glow
Of a heavenly light that only God can bestow.
It has been said that every time a bell rings
That means an angel has earned their wings.
Could it be possible for mankind to master that kind of prayer?
Perhaps then this world would be free of Satins glare.
However it seems that greed. envy, and selfishness
Prevail, over goodness and fosters evilness.
Wickedness flourishes when good men do nothing,
Even a spoken or silent prayer is something.
Laziness in the hearts and souls of so many adults
Whose aberrant behavior becomes Godly insults.
But there is an answer and a God given cure,
Be like little children obedient and pure.
Teach us dear children so we may know
The exemplar of love in order to show
We have not forgotten His holy word
We wish to gain His approval and reward.
Not to long ago that we taught you how to pray
But it seems we have just lost our way.
