My Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep I pray to heaven my words to keep. That I may realize my mistake And my apology he’ll take I pray at night to the stars above That I may find untainted love I pray to find a second chance And from someone’s eyes a loving glance I pray to be a better person Though a lot of things are left uncertain I pray at night to find a dream To dance under the moon lit beams I pray to know what it’s like to fly And watch the world as it passes by I pray to see the world turn around So bodies never hit the ground I pray at last to see world peace So killings everywhere would cease And finally I pray for you to forgive me Even though I know, it will never be.

Christine - This form of poetry is "Couplet" and I must say you did a fine job writing it - The rhyme and flow is excellent and the prayer is touching - The truly important thing is to remember to forgive yourself - God Bless
