UMA SAÚVA NA CHUVA





                                                      Uma pequena saúva
                                                      Saiu na chuva
                                                      A mamãe brigou
                                                      Ela gritou:
                                                     - Estou de botas,
                                                     -Também de luvas!
                                                      E continuou...
                                                      Depois que andou...
                                                      E andou... e andou...
                                                      Finalmente encontrou
                                                      Uma folhinha
                                                      Amarelinha
                                                      E embaixo dela
                                                      Se amparou,
                                                      Mas a enxurrada
                                                      Quase a levou.
                                                      Quando pensou
                                                      Estar perdida
                                                      Ela lembrou
                                                      Do Criador
                                                      Então jurou:
                                                     -Jamais na vida
                                                      Desobedecer eu vou,
                                                      Mesmo que esteja
                                                      De bota e luva
                                                      E até de guarda-chuva,
                                                      Por favor, Senhor
                                                      Me ajude... me proteja
                                                      Me salve, Senhor
                                                      Que assim seja!
                                                      Deus ouvindo essa promessa
                                                      Deu-lhe asas para depressa
                                                      À sua casa retornar
                                                      E a saúva arrependida
                                                      À mamãe pediu perdão
                                                      E falou, agradecida:
                                                      Minha prece foi ouvida
                                                      Obrigada Deus, obrigada,
                                                      Eu aprendi a lição!
