First Line: I've learned to say my evening prayers
Last Line: "and no one calls me ""tattle tale."
Subject(s): Children; Prayer; Childhood
I've learned to say my evening prayers
While nurse is waiting in the hall;
I have so many heavy cares
I like to think about them all.
I tell what mischief I've been in,
And every night I never fail
To tell all little brother's sin,
And no one calls me "tattle tale."
