    A PRAYER B4 SLEEPING

    Almighty God
    as my years pass on I marvel
    so many Blessings
    I have been fortunate 2 receive
    I think of my Mother
    so wonderful and caring
    saying
    TRUST in The Lord
    there are miracles 2 believe

    I kiss my child
    while she is sleeping sweetly
    no greater joy than knowing
    she belongs 2 me
    I shed a tear
    as I watch her quietly breathing
    knowing her soul is kept
    4 all eternity

    Oh, Dear Lord
    in times of hurt and sorrow
    I called Your Name
    and felt my soul at peace
    earthly gain
    has never been my purpose
    4 in the end
    the most shall be granted 2 the least

    And,
    though the world
    know not who I am
    I am Your child
    I have Your smile
    and though I have walked
    through cities of the damned
    with You beside me
    I stood tall
    and survived the fall

    My Eternal Father,
    before I sleep
    I shall pray
    4 all who weep
    in Haiti
    there's a child crying
    4 his mother
    let him know in Heaven
    the two shall one day meet

    4 all I am
    and all I am 2 be
    I give You Praise
    until the end of my days
    4 one fine day
    I shall wake in the arms
    of Jesus Christ
    basking in the Light
    of Paradise

    AMEN
