A Child's Prayer

A prayer of a girl, whose mom been drinking since she was a kid.



I've been praying since I was three,
If my mom would stop drinking,
But no answers until now,
Is it in vain what I have asked?

I kneel down on my knees before you,
Please hear me Oh Lord this time,
Can't you see that I'm crying?
Why can't you stop mom from all these?

I even asked that you take my life,
Hoping that mom would be good,
Am I forgotten? I hope not,
I'm too weak to be forgotten.

Lord hold mom's hand and lead her way,
Help her getting through this pain,
I do not wish more than this,
That my mom would stop drinking

I didn't ask mom to be like mary,
I only wish if she stops drinking,
I hope you'll grant my wish this time,
That I and mom would be happy.

Mom look at me, here I'm crying,
How long do you want me cry?
Drop the glass before it's late,
We're watching you coming home.
