Inspirational PoemInspirational poems, written by children or adults, are worth sharing

 

This inspirational poem,

written by a 12 year-old 

girl in Boston, came 

across the desk...

Now I sit me down in school
where praying is against the rule.
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

 

If Scripture now the class recites
It violates the Bill of Rights.
Anytime my head I bow
Becomes a federal matter now.

 

The law is specific; the law is precise.
Praying out loud is no longer nice.
Praying aloud in a public hall
Upsets those who believe in nothing at all.

 

In silence alone we can meditate
and if God should get the credit--great!
They are bringing their guns,
I don't dare bring my Bible,
To do so might make me liable.

 

So, now Oh Lord, this plea I make;
Should I be shot in school,
My soul please take...

-- August 2000 --
