Dear God

I love this poem I found via Nathan's Blog of Exceptional Family TV.

Dear God,


I am just a little boy
I don't know how to pray
But please tell me, Lord
... Why did you make me this way
He explained,

I gave you no sight
So others could see
That My glory is planted
In the smallest of seeds

I gave you no voice
So others you could teach
That even in silence
I can hear you speak

I gave you a life that others
Would not wish to have
So they would be grateful
Instead of boastful and proud

The body of a child
The purpose of a man
You were lovingly created
To fulfill the Master's plan

So close your eyes, my child
I will give you dreams
For someday you will fly
And you will not need wings
