Do you still put those tiny hands together
Each morning in prayer
Beside your little cribs?
Do it!
No matter how sleepy you are,
Fall to your knees and shut your crystal eyes
No matter how hungry you are for breakfast.

For The One above
Listens better to you and your friends
Your hearts are so clean and pure
His anger melts when you speak!

Dear child,
Don’t pray only for food and drinks
Or for more toys and riches
Pray too for peace and love
For Life is such a battlefield!

One more thing
Please pray too for us dear child
For our hearts are too proud
Too filthy
Pray so He could have mercy
And maybe make our hearts a bit cleaner.

…And perhaps
When you’re older
The future ones will pray for you too!
