Before and After
Sunset –
I pray for my friend, and get into bed
To dream for the night
Sunrise –
I pray for my foe, and get out of bed
To dream for the day
My foe turned friend, and friend turned foe
I need a prayer, to reverse my prayer
Before and after, I sink in bed!
Not another prayer
I pray teach me
I have been my friend
And my foe at once
