WHEN LITTLE BOYS PRAY
When little boys kneel by their beds
And fold their hands and bow their heads
And shut their eyes and start to pray
I don’t think God is far away.
I think He listens with intent
To any message that is sent
By little boys who kneel at night;
I think God tries with all His might
To answer prayers that small boys make
In His Son’s name, for His Son’s sake.
-Gates Hebbard
