This is the beloved Catholic prayer-poem "Lovely Lady Dressed in Blue" written by Mary Dixon Thayer and famously popularized by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen in the 1950s.
Lovely Lady dressed in blue,
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little boy,
Tell me what to say!
Did you lift Him up, sometimes,
Gently on your knee?
Did you sing to Him the way
Mother does to me?
Did you hold His hand at night?
Did you ever try
Telling stories of the world?
O! And did He cry?
Do you really think He cares
If I tell Him thingsโ
Little things that happen?
And do the Angels' wings
Make a noise? And can He hear
Me if I speak low?
Does He understand me now?
Tell meโfor you know.
Lovely Lady dressed in blue,
Teach me how to pray!
God was just your little Boy,
And you know the way.
Amen.
Thank you, John, from @johniscatholic
