Tyanna’s Prayer

From:Tyanna Mabberley Hello Robert, For school I have to write a poem to read in front of the entire school but I have no clue what I’m going to write. I’m not a great poet, so can you please write me or send me a poem that is good for a 15 year old boy who is in the hospital for a brain tumor? So can you please help me. I’m desperate. The poem has to be about Kyle, to make people pray for him and for God to keep him safe.

Kyle’s brain is in pain
And really quite lame,
From some crazy disease
I can’t even name!
And is it OK
To say

“God, please repair
Just one kid there,
Of all that’s bad and sad
That this crazy world’s had
Today?”

I don’t care!
If it is not OK!
I’ll say a prayer
Anyway.
