Dear God,

Thank you for giving us a beautiful day. I like the sand You made at the beach for us to play in. I love the sun and the sea and I always try to remember to wear my hat. Please God, help me to find it and please hear my prayer: don't let it be in my Uncle's room.

Thank you God for sending Uncle to live with us. He's funny. He knows all the good stuff about Your ocean creatures. My favorites are the Stingrays because they are gentle but can protect themselves if they need to.

Please look after Steve Irwin, God. He was neat. How come he died God? Couldn't You have taken me to Heaven instead of him? I'm not like a Stingray God. I can't protect myself. I need Your help. Please be my strength.

I am sorry God for thinking bad things about my Uncle. I don't like it when he kisses me and touches my private parts. Please make him stop God. When he's at Church on Sunday, please whisper in his ear and tell him I'd rather just learn about Gropers and Octopi from books. Tell him, please God, that I don't like his sea-creature games. I don't think they're right and I don't want to go to hell.

Oh! It's raining. Thank you for the big sprinkler that keeps our beautiful plants alive God. It's nice. Or are you crying God? I am sorry if I have upset You God. I didn't mean to. Please forgive me. You can use my hankie if you'd like to dry Your tears. I have lots of hankies because I cry a lot.

Please don't be sad God. I'm alright. I am good. I only sometimes pretend I've had enough. I will try harder to be strong and forgiving like You God. I am really sorry for saying that I wanted to die God. It was bad of me to think nasty things about Uncle. He is good because he goes to Church.

Please stop crying now God. It is loud on my roof and I can't hear if Uncle is coming to teach me about Sucker fish. He said he would but I don't want to learn anymore God. I would really like to be an angel and wipe away Your tears. Can you help me to come and be an Angel in Heaven please God?

That's enough now God. No more crying please. I am so sorry that I made You sad. I promise that I'll be a very good girl from now on. I will do what Uncle tells me because he is your friend too God.

Say hello to Mother Theresa and Saint Francis of Assisi from me. I hope that You will let me see them soon.

Goodnight God. Please hear my prayer.

Love from Elspeth.
