Hey God, can you please tell me now,
why  mom and dad thought i was  bad.
They always yelled and beat me hard,
thats why I felt so sad.
I did my best to be so good
but whatever I did was wrong.
Thats why I came up here to you
cause you are big and strong.

~*~

Hey God, can I just sit by you
and rest my head a bit.
Its not that I'm in pain right now
but it feels good here just to sit.
Since I've been here I've felt no pain
and no one screams so strong.
I never knew that by coming to you
I finally would  belong.

~*~

I now can play and be happy again,
i just  didn't know what to do.
I guess thats why I came up here
to ask these things of you.
Please tell my parents that i'm now good
and do what I am told.
I listen good and don't talk back
and no longer do I feel cold.

~*~

Hey God, just thank u for my new life
and for loving me.
 Idon't have any broken bones,
no bruises for all to see.
You let me sit here close to you
where it is warm and full of love.
Just thank u God for helping me
and bringing me to you here above.
