God, Please Stop the Rain

God, Please Stop the Rain


I had such dreams
for you, little one.
Life full of joy,
blue skies, shining sun...
Squeals of laughter.
No sad tears to dry.
I had such dreams;
Please baby, don't cry.

I never thought
that your life would be
hurtful and hard,
so painful to see.
Already exposed
to heartache and pain;
I never thought...
a life full of rain.

Blessing from God;
A gift from Above.
Never intended
for hurt, but for love.
Beauty and grace
bestowed on you,young.
Blessing from God;
Your life's just begun.

Course has been set;
The pattern is there.
Parents are fighting;
Baby's eyes stare.
Daddy is leaving;
Mom's tears she can't hide.
The course has been set;
A roller coast ride.

He comes and he goes
like clouds in the sky.
You never know if
it's hello or goodbye
as he kisses your cheek;
How confused you must be.
He comes and he goes...
this man called Daddy.

Eyes full of wonder
will start to show fear.
Someone take notice;
You see and you hear.
The lessons are taught;
the good and the bad.
Eyes full of wonder
watch Mommy and Dad.

I have a prayer
for you, little one.
Life full of joy,
blue skies, shining sun.
God holds you close,
protecting from pain.
I have a prayer...
God, please stop the rain.
