Hi, God

Hi, God. It's me - your friend, Lenore.
I've got something I wanted to thank you for.
What a beautiful sunset you sent my way,
All the colors you used; the pink and purple hues.
I think orange is my favorite.
I can't decide when there's a 64 box of crayons in the sky.

I even like it when you send the rain. I like to see the birds jumping and splashing in the puddles. But I really don't like the thunder and lightning. It's too loud and booming. And besides, it scares AJ's dog, Harry...Oh yeah!

Hi, God. It's me - your friend, Lenore.
I've got something I wanted to thank you for.
Thank you for Harry. That's AJ's dog.
He makes AJ happy, even though he's kind of slobbery and barky and I get scared when he jumps up on me.

Thank you for mommy and daddy, my food, and my friends.
And this part I'm saving for the very end;
Thank you, God, for loving me. Help me love you more and more, and more and more and more and more and more...
Hugs and kisses. Lenore. Goodnight, God. Sleep tight!
