I wish I was a little girl again...

I wish I was a little girl again...
I wish I could go back to the times when
My appearance didn't matter,
And my emotions were simple.

Why, oh why does it all go so fast?
Can't I stay there a little longer?
Can't I go back to enjoy those innocent things,
Those things such as dress up and tea parties?

Oh, I wish, I wish...
But as I say those words,
I realize just how selfish they truly are.
It is not for the pleasures of the world
Which we should love, but rather,
We should delight in serving our Lord.

Oh, Father, Father!
Help me to be perfectly satisfied
With your wonderful plan.
Help me to learn from my past,
And desire my future...
Help me to live fully for you,
Wanting nothing apart from you...
Father, I am unable without you...

Please, help me...
