A PRAYER FOR
CHILDREN OF THE
90'S
We pray for children who put chocolate fingers
everywhere. Who like to be tickled. Who stomp in
puddles and ruin their new pants. Who sneak Popsicles
before supper. Who erase holes in math workbooks,
and Who can never find their shoes.
And we pray for those Who stare at photographers
from behind barbed wire. Who can't bounce down the
street in a new pair of sneakers. Who never "counted
potatoes." Who are born in places we wouldn't be
caught in. Who never go to the circus, and Who live
in an X-rated world.
We pray for children Who bring us sticky kisses and
fistfuls of dandelions. Who sleep with the dog and
bury goldfish. Who hug us in a hurry and forget
lunch money. Who cover themselves with Band-Aids and
sing off-key. Who squeeze toothpaste all over the
sink, and Who slurp their soup.
And we pray for
those who never get dessert. Who have no safe
blanket to drag behind them. Who watch their parents
watch them die. Who can't find any bread to steal.
Who don't have any rooms to clean up. Whose pictures
aren't on any dresser, and Whose monsters are real.
We pray for children Who spend all their allowance
before Tuesday. Who throw tantrums in the grocery
store and pick at their food. Who shove their dirty
clothes under the bed and never rinse out the tub.
Who squirm in church and scream on the phone. Whose
tears we sometimes laugh at and whose smiles can make
us cry.
And we pray for
those Whose nightmares come in the daytime. Who will
eat anything. Who have never seen a dentist. Who
aren't spoiled by anybody. Who go to bed hungry and
cry themselves to sleep. Who live and move, but have
no being.
We pray for children who want to be
carried and for those who must. For those we never
give up on And for those who don't have a second
chance. For those we smother. . . And those who will
grab the hand of anybody Kind enough to offer
it.
