Dear God, I'm just a little child. Take care of me today, guide my footsteps, calm my fears, and guard me while I play. Help me with my lessons and teach me to obey, make me kind and honest, and let me be yours today. God bless my mom and daddy and my brothers too and may we all meet you in heaven when the trials of life are through.
