The Precious gift




If I could give one special gift,
It would not be a toy,
It would be the gift of health,
For every girl and boy.
When I see children hurt or ill,
It makes me want to cry,
And it makes me question,
What is the reason? Why?
I wish I knew the answer,
Are some things meant to be?
All a part of some great plan,
That we cannot see?
A friend says he's been answered,
When he has said a prayer,
I know that he trusts in the Lord,
And knows that He is there.
I hope that what he says is true,
That someone there does care,
And, in the hope that it is true,
I too will say a prayer.
Lord, if you can hear my words,
I don't ask for myself,
Please, grant to children everywhere,
Your precious gift of health.
