A SMALL GIRL'S PRAYER, by                    
First Line: Dear lord, I'm not complaining
Last Line: In place of this old braid?
Subject(s): Prayer


Dear Lord, I'm not complaining,
At least, I hope, not much;
But since you've made the crippled walk
Without the aid of crutch: --
And given sight unto the blind --
Well, I've a small request!
It means so very much to me;
I'm sure it's for the best.
But couldn't you just let me have --
(You can't, I'm so afraid!)
A lovely, long and shining curl,
In place of this old braid?
