Prayers
By FallinTears
Prayers When I went to bed, That night my mother said, “Baby says your prayers.” So to anyone who cares… Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take. That next night my mother said, “ Say your prayers before you go to bed.” And then she left the house, As quietly as any mouse. So I said… Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take. The next night mom left me alone. There was nobody home. To care, If I said my prayers. But I did… Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take. Mother died last night. She got in a terrible fight. But she never said her prayers, Before she went to her final bed. So I said them for her… Now I lay her down to sleep, I pray the lord her soul to keep. She did die before she waked, And her soul the lord did take.~In memory of the late Arnold Coppola, Hank Longo, Nancy Longo, Biase Marie Danny Lagana, and my dear Uncle Frank, Aunt Lucy, and all the others I was too young to remeber~ Written November 7th, 2001 © on Nov 07 2001 10:33 AM PST 0 • 1
