Too many people grow up. That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won't do that.

I sat on the floor
And began to pray
I prayed up to the lord
Because I had something to say
I was very afraid
To ask him to forgive
I didnt want to be betrayed
I wanted a life to relive
He told me everything was ok
And then took a deep breath
Then said "You I will not betray
Because you will live long after death"
I looked up and smiled
Because I knew he was going to be for a very long while

I actually wrote this one for my English class, but God means alot to me. Although sometimes I might try and give up on life, he is always someone I turn to!!!
