Mark Koplin Poet Rhyme

Darkest Hour - My Prayer For Tonight

Now I lay me down to rest.
I pray the world to give their best.
The best of Man, in the worst of times.
Our Poets can help with peaceful rhymes.

This valley of shadows we now shall trod.
Lead us please, oh Lord our God.
Give strength to the weak, and wisdom to the strong.
Show our leaders the knowledge, to know right from wrong.

I humbly pray on this sunny day.
Strike down this illness and lead our way.
With all of your love and absolute power.
Please hear this prayer, in our darkest hour.
