A Goodnight Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my Lord will keep,
My precious love safe and secure,
Don't let me weep,
Harm to her,
I could not endure

Sweet golden hair
Resting on ...
A pillow somewhere...

She may be 3000 miles away,
But my heart,
Near her will stay...
I am so lucky a man...
For God brought me...
More than I can...
Have ever expected,
Thank You, Above...
For returning to me...
My eternal Love.
