Austin's Prayer

Hello Dear Friend Jesus,

Happy Birthday precious One,

Mommy said you came to save us

and that your God's special Son



My letter started out dear santa

As we were writing before bed

But You know how Mom's are

She said I should write you instead.



Mom said give praise and ask for nothing

But Jesus, I don't agree

Although we have most of what we need

I need some things for me



Anything you send me

I know it will bring joy

But what I want most of all

Is to be a happy boy



I know things sometimes aren't quite right

I hear mommy crying when she prays

So Jesus, when you hear her,

Could you take her sadness away?



Jesus, I love my daddy

He prays and works hard too

I know what would make him happiest

Is to be comforted by You.



Thank You for my sister

That You sent to earth with me

Sometimes she gets a little scared

When I don't quite act like me.



There are so many angels

You've sent to help me through

But Jesus what I really want

Is to be touched and healed by You.



Amen

Love Austin
