Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray thee lord, my soul to keep
Tonight my prayers are strong and loud
Tears may come, but I'm so damn proud
Protect her God, from those who may creep
& bless her with a restful sleep
For dawn brings on a new road
It came faster than expected, though I was told.
May nightmares be far, and dreams stay near
May she wake rested, without any fear
Thank you for the angels you are sending
To keep me sane while my heart is mending
For though I am happy, and though I am proud
This day in age is just too loud
God, the world today that we see
I know is not how it was supposed to be
But I do know your love and word is true
& lay down my thanks for all that you do
Tomorrow is just the first of many years
So take my prayers and my many tears
Bless her with your grace and unconditional love
& thank you for watching over from above .....
Amen.
