RESPONSIBILITIES by BURGES JOHNSON

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."
