We pray for children...
Who put chocolate fingers everywhere,
Who like to be tickled,
Who stomp in puddles
and ruin their new pants,
Who sneak Popsicles before supper,
Who erase holes in math workbooks,
Who can never find their shoes.
And we pray for those Who stare at photographers
from behind barbed wire,
Who can't bounce down the street
in a new pair of sneakers.
Who never "counted potatoes,"
Who are born in places we wouldn't be caught in,
Who never go to the circus,
We pray for children
Who bring us sticky kisses
and fistfuls of dandelions,
Who sleep with the dog and bury goldfish,
Who hug us in a hurry and forget lunch money,
And we pray for those who never get dessert,
Who have no safe blanket to drag behind them,
Who watch their parents watch them die,
Who don't have any rooms to clean up,
Whose pictures aren't on any dresser,
Whose monsters are real.
We pray for children
Who spend all their allowance before Tuesday,
Who throw tantrums in the grocery store
and pick at their food,
Who shove their dirty clothes under the bed
and never rinse out the tub,
Who squirm in church and scream on the phone,
Whose tears we sometimes laugh at
And whose smiles can make us cry.
And we pray for those Whose nightmares
come in the daytime
Who have never seen a dentist,
Who aren't spoiled by anybody,
Who go to bed hungry and cry themselves to sleep.
Who live and move, but have no being.
We pray for children who want to be carried
and for those who must
For those we never give up on
And for those who don't have a second chance,
And those who will grab the hand of anybody
Kind enough to offer it.
