TWO PRAYERS, by                    
First Line: Last night my little boy confessed to me
Last Line: "trusting thee with faith sincere."
Subject(s): Prayer


Last night my little boy confessed to me
Some childish wrong;
And kneeling at my knee,
He prayed with tears --
"Dear God, make me a man
Like Daddy -- wise and strong;
I know you can."
Then while he slept
I knelt beside his bed,
Confessed my sins,
And prayed with low-bowed head.
"O God, make me a child
Like my child here --
Pure, guileless,
Trusting Thee with faith sincere."
