Happy 24th

Well since it is Pioneer Day I thought that I would share an awesome song with you. A girl in my ward sang it at Enrichment and it was AMAZING. The lyrics are great, I just wish you could hear it sang because it is really touching. Well I hope you enjoy it anyway.. and have a great Pioneer Day!!

Prayer of the Walking Child

Father
Can you hear me
Will you listen to me for a while
Please, can you make the day warm
The sun will dry the dewy grass
And all will be well.
And Father
Make my steps a little larger
I’ll try not to fall behind
Also bless my shoes
To help them last another mile or so.
Father
I’m so hungry
I’ve had nothing to eat for a while
Please, can you fill our grain barrel
Mother can make a flour cake
And all will be well.
But Father
When the food is gone, forgive me
I’ll try hard not to complain
Also, bless my mother
Dry her tears and help her smile again.
Father
I’m so weary
Can I stop and rest here for a while
Please keep the cold from blowing
Bring on the night, so I can dream
And all will be well.
But Father
If I sleep too long, forgive me
Wake me up, don’t leave me behind
But, if sleep still keeps me
Father in your arms please carry me home.
And all will be well
All will be well
All is well

That is HORRIBLY SAD! I am so glad I didn't have to see my kids go through that. HAPPY 24th.
