The Prayer of the Little Bird - Carmen Bernos de Gasztold

Dear God,

I don't know how to pray by myself

very well,

but will You please

protect my little nest from wind. and rain?

Put a great deal of dew on the flowers,

many seeds in my way.

Make Your blue very high,

Your branches lisaom;

let Your kind light stay late in the sky

and set my heart brimming with such music

that I must sing, sing, sing...

Please, Lord.

Amen
