Before I Go To Sleep



    God, please remove all fear from my soul,
    Whose eyes glow dark, as the blackest coal.

    I really forget, as my earthly, fellow humans do,
    That you are the only power behind all in the human zoo.

    Bring the many lost sheep back to your fold.
    One day in heaven, our eyes on you to behold!

    We are finite beings, doing our heartfelt best.
    But getting into heaven is our ultimate test.

    Winning in life does not really count that much.
    If we make this our ony goal, and never lose your Divine touch!

I will be happy to walk the road with you, Civilizations without God are, no more! Unfortunately, our public schools do not teach that in the US! A shame! Pangie
