conflicting prayer

i see
a group of young children
out in the street
staring up
at the grey sky.
it's Sunday
and they are praying hard
for snow.
their mittened
hands
pressed together 
pleading
for a foot or two of
a cold white
blizzard
that will cancel school.
i'm inside,
praying for the opposite.
