The
Last Prayer
A
little girl lay awake one night,
alone
in a hospital bed.
She
closed her eyes and prayed to God,
And
this is what she said...
"Don't
let Daddy be too sad.
Don't
let Mommy cry.
Help
Michelle to not be lonely,
And
not to be so shy.
Give
my dolls to the little girls
Who
need someone to hug.
And
give my bear to the boy at school
Who
always sits alone on the rug.
Take
the flowers beside my bed
And
give them to someone who needs
A
cheering up, a brighter day
Or
has a garden all filled with weeds.
As
a single tear rolled down her cheek,
And
with the very last breath she drew...
She
said, "Oh, and God...
I
want my wings to be blue."
