Bedside Prayers
In the quiet that comes from the setting sun
I close my eyes, and hope for sleep
To soothe my soul with prayers to the ONE
As in the prayer, “My soul to keep”
A child would kneel by their bed then say a prayer
A simple little childhood verse
As adults, we can no longer kneel down there
‘Cos getting up ‘thud be much worse!
