Little Sarah's Holiday Prayer

I wrote this poem because every holiday in my father and step-mother's home, they would argue or fight with each other. The holidays were never a happy time for us.

I know I haven't been 

a little angel this year, but I 

tried really hard. I didn't know

that a peanut butter and jelly 

sandwich doesn't belong in the 

N.C.R, it fit. Daddy got really mad

that day. It made daddy and mommy

argue. Shh, I was supposed to be napping.

I didn't mean to spill my juice of the carpet. Later

after mommy put me to bed, I 

heard the arguing about the spill.

Shh, I was supposed to be

sleeping. I am sure there are lots 

of other things I have done, because

mommy and daddy argue a lot. I

just don't remember what those things

are. All I want for Christmas is for

mommy and daddy to stop arguing

and to love each other again.

So that they can love me again.

I really am a good little girl.
