One Single Impression: Please

.

 

Please Dear God

Please Dear God, won't you send me

Send me a sparkling new home

One with windows fine and clear

A wooden floor with no dirt

 

Please Dear God, I need a truck

Bright and red, a Chevrolet

One to pull my trailer fast

The trailer too needs some tires

 

Please Dear God, my van is broke

But this time I'd like a car

A shiny one, maybe black

New Mustang or Cadillac

 

 

Please Dear God, our pastor's poor

Our tithes are small, sometimes slow

He needs milk for his porridge

Bread and beans for his children

 

Please Dear God, our children walk

They need a little pony

He can be dappled or plain

He'd best run fast, never trot

Please Dear God, I'd like to move

Move me to a pretty town
Where grass is green, trees are tall

With sidewalks smooth for the kids
 

 

Please Dear God, I've laid my needs

Like dominoes spread out straight

I'm not asking for money

Just house, pony, car and truck

 

My needs are plain can You see?

Some for pastor and his kids

Our children a place for them

Just simple things, please Dear God
