BEDTIME PRAYER |
|
by Charles Carreon Now I lay me Down To Sleep, I pray the Lord My soul To Keep. If dawn should catch me Once again, I pray I'll meet it With a friend. If sorrow makes it's bed with me I pray to meet it fearlessly; If solid earth should fall away I pray to find a grasp somewhere; And if this moment fades to stay, Leaving my name to dust among the voices of the living, I pray that I will yet Partake in the sacrament of giving.
(Summer, 1986)
