That time you cried before
you even knew
The world existed
And that you were part of
it
That was the time I prayed
for you.
When you ran screeching
through the sprinkler
The first time you saw the
words and knew their meaning
When you were so
frightened because your brother was so sick
That was the time I prayed
for you.
When you went off to
school with a smile and a hope
When the teacher didn’t
understand
When the other girls shut
you out
That was the time I prayed
for you.
When you tried to make the
team and didn’t
When you lost the spelling
bee
When you cried because you
held a tiny death in your hand
That was the time I prayed
for you.
When you saw that boy and
he walked away
When you didn’t even want
to go
But they chose you queen
at the prom
That was the time I prayed
for you.
When those in power lied
And sneered at you in
arrogance
When the world teetered on
destruction
When injustice seemed so
overwhelming
That was the time I prayed
for you.
When you laughed out loud
at nothing
When you saw the stars at
night, and felt so small,
When you felt the presence
of God in every angle of your soul
That was the time I prayed
for you
