God hears our prayer

Anna Kathleen Tunnicliff

You don't have to use your hands;
You don't even have to whisper.
It doesn't matter how you pray,
God can hear you anyway.

Parent's note: My daughter, Anna Kathleen Tunnicliff, is a first-grader and a Sunday School student. One day she came home from public school and shared with me this poem. She said she had been praying for herself at school because her hands were sore after recess. Then she realized her prayer was also a poem. Also, her hands stopped hurting while she was still at school.
