A Child's Wish
A Child’s Wish
God, you have many Angels, could you give one to me,
To be always beside me and keep me company.
I’d like my Angel to help me in my many chores,
Then I won’t feel that any task really bores.
God, I do not ask for much, only one Angel please,
To always help guide and give my heart some ease.
An Angel I can run and play with every single day,
I promise to make them happy and not get in their way.
When I’m all grown up, you can have your Angel back,
Is this too much to ask you, or must I use more tact.
I am told that I must share when I’m out at play,
I wonder if you’ll give one Angel, that’s all I have to say.
The Answer
My dear little child, that’s not possible for me,
If I give you an Angel, others will be unhappy you see.
And I need all my Angels, they help me everyday,
They can watch from Heaven, when you’re out at play.
I’d like to be obliging, but no Angel will I give,
They have many duties, looking into lives that people live.
I know it would be wonderful to have one of your own,
Really my dear child, they must stay with the holy throne.
Child’s Reply
Thank you so much dear Father. I think I understand,
I can not have an Angel, you need them at your hand.
If you ever decide to change your mind on this,
Remember that I’m only a child, with a child’s wish.
And dear Father, I won’t pressure you anymore today,
For I know you have an Angel watching while I play.
I also know your love is with me every day and night,
I won’t ever be afraid, for you hold me oh so tight.
