Dear God

Now I lay me down to bed,
I pray to god no tears are shed,
I pray to you, cause my heart bleeds,
I turn to you in my time of need.
I need your guidance, so here’s my prayer,
cause this is a heartache, i just can’t bear.
god, please give me strength, to forget my past,
and help me love so it can last.
Please help me learn to overcome,
all the bad things said and done.
Help me trust so when we’re apart,
I always know I’m in his heart.
Please give me courage to face my fears,
to love and laugh with no more tears.
Help me have a peaceful night,
so when I wake in the morning light,
I know our love will stand tall,
through all the obstacles big and small.
Thank you for listening, yet again,
I know your always there for me, goodnight, amen.
