Mommy’s eyes are closed so tight.
Who’s she talking to tonight?
I see her sitting on her bed.
She folds her hands and bows her head.
She makes sure to say “Thanks” and “Please”
and asks for help and grace and peace.
When she’s done, I hear her say,
“In Jesus’s holy name, I pray.”
While I was spying from outside,
Mommy saw me and replied,
“Is that my pretty girl I see?
Why don’t you come and pray with me?”
“It’s so important that we pray,
spend time with Jesus every day,
and talk to Him like a best friend.
Then when you’re done, you say, ‘Amen.’”
