~A Little Boys Prayer~
A little boy is on his knees,praying this Christmas Eve,
A single candle in the window,
burning bright hoping to bring his loved one home tonight,
Presents lay underneath the tree,
All wrapped in an array of colors, each topped with beautiful bows,
The sound of Christmas fills the air,
beautiful songs all wishing good cheer,
A simple little Christmas prayer,
from one little boy,
his eyes closed tight and his little hands clasped together,
As he says his Christmas prayer,
"Please hear my prayer tonight, it's a very simple one,
this is Austin, as he looks to the heavens above,
I am 8 this year. You have had my daddy for a while,
do you think this year we can share?
can I have my daddy back? Just for a little while?
I miss my daddy, I miss his smile,
I want his arms around me telling me everything will be alright,
I pray when I wake on Christmas day,
my daddy is by the tree, holding his arms out for me,
Please can we share?
Can I have my daddy back this year......"
