Little Andy Talks with God
The Bible
Hello, Mr. God.
It's me, little Andy.
Momma says ya wrote a book
That has answers for all my need.
I jest look at the pictures, for now,
Seein's how I can't read.
The pictures are really pretty.
I like that Moses an he looks so cool, ok?
Did Jesus take your book for show an tell,
When he went to school, one day?
Momma likes readin' from your book
Even better than watchin' the TV.
But, I don't see why.
Though, she says, someday, I will see.
I s'pose ya wrote a real good book.
Did ya write my Barney books, too?
I really like them, a lot.
I bet Jesus likes them, jest like I do.
Daddy reads your book, at the table,
Before we get to eat.
Sometimes, I can't sit still.
Momma says I got jigglin' feet.
Oh, Mr. God, it's not
That I don't like your book.
I don't know what it says, at all,
Except for the pictures that ya took.
Momma says, "Little Andy,
I'm going to raise you in God's word."
I sure hope that's a good idea
'Cause she meant everything I heard.
The other day, I got in trouble an
She said, "Andy what's with you, today?"
I started crying, 'cause I didn't know.
Then, she said, "What would Jesus say?"
Somehow, when I'm bad,
It upsets Jesus, too.
Oh, Mr. God, tell him I am sorry,
Please. I didn't mean ta hurt you.
Sometimes, she s'plains the stories
So I can know what she reads ta me.
I like the one she told me, today,
About a little short guy up in a tree.
Yesterday, she told me about a young boy.
David was his name and he was so good,
An how he used a sling shot to kill a bad giant
'Cause he wouldn't do what he should.
Someday, when I can read,
I'm gonna read your book.
I need ta grow up some. But, for now,
I jest look at the pictures that ya took.
Well, Mr. God, I gotta go.
How's the family?
Tell them all I said 'hi ya'.
From me, little Andy.
