A Child's Request This is a great poem.
A little boy the age of six Come home from school one day With tear filled eyes he told his mom What he'd heard the teachers say
We can't have prayer in school no more The teacher say's it's law Please tell me why we can't pray mom I don't understand at all
Some kids are saying God is dead And Jesus isn't real Mom all this talk confuses me How am I suppose to feel
I know I'm just a little kid But kids have questions too So if there is no God mom Then who made me and you
Who made all the trees mom Who made the flowers to bloom Who put the stars up in the sky And hung the silver moon
Who made the gentle breeze to blow Who made the deep blue sea Who made all the mountains mom Who made the air we breath
Why can't we pray in school no more We use to every day Our Bible teacher's there no more They said she went away
All this just can't be right mom They pushed God out the door And if He can't be in school with me I don't want to go no more
The mother lifted up her child And held him to her breast She gently wiped his tears away Then answered his request
She said, yes son, there is a God And Jesus is alive He goes to school with you each day He never leaves your side
And as you grow older son You'll hear it more and more It's not just schools, it's others too That's pushed God out the door
Just keep your trust in God son No matter what you hear And when you want to talk to Him You'll find He's always near
The one's that say there is no God And Jesus isn't real Will one day face their Master's son Their fate will then be sealed
