A Child's Prayer

God make my life a little light,

Within the world to glow—

A tiny flame that burneth bright,

Wherever I may go.

God make my life a little flower,

That bringeth joy to all,

Content to bloom in native bower,

Although its place be small.

God make my life a little song,

That comforteth the sad,

That helpeth others to be strong,

And makes the singer glad.
