A Child's Prayer Poem by Josehf Murchison

Beneath the covers he did lie.
With his head covered he did cry.
He begged the lord to let him die.
As tears would fall from his eye.

God please, please kill me this very night.
Please free me from this pain and terrible fright.
Please free me from this terror, anguish and sorrow.
Before I have to face tomorrow.

The lord did not answer a child's prayer.
He grew up believing no one did care.
Now he has an angry stare.
As there is a monster standing there.
