Help This Child Lord


from the ABC set poemsbypaulmccann

Father I pray to you in this place .

Sweet Jesus I ask you to embrace.

The child who never listens to me .

The child who refuses to agree .

A Father's love never questions why .

The reasons that almost make him cry .

The times that a father cannot bear .

When it seems his children never care .

When its too much and he's worried sick.

A father's no ones favourite pick .

A father's love is deeply within

when a child's demanding won't give in .

The child I know you can change in time .

Father help this naughty child of mine.

Lord help the child who cannot be ,

at peace with life instead of angry .
