As I Lay Down to Sleep


As I lay down and pray
I think of all the good things that happened today

Not a day goes by that I try to do my best
I want to please the lord above all the rest

Wonder if this is my last...

Down, so many things forced down, 
they force you 		look down, lie down,
even music tracks “comma, down, doobee down.” 
	The tracks the coyote left in the snow
drew my eyes down, the cat is missing. 
Poor half-bitten stray, already a gimp, 
I bet he was overcome...

As twilight ushered in again
the last of yesterday
the glimmer of life’s candlelight
began to fade away
I gazed upon your weary face
you smiled at me and said…

“My spirit will ascend from here; 
leave body in this bed
where I once laid my burdens,
I will now lay my crowns

There’s No Greater Love Than This… 

There’s no greater love, than to lay down 
your life for your brother…
God’s commandment reminds
 us to love one another!

God gave us this challenge as a principle set before us.
But too many times, we let things
 “come in between...

Lay down beside me
Let's break these picture frames
and roll around in the glass
until our bodies are as bloody as 
               our history
We'll burn our souls inside the knots
of your bedpost and...

My love for you, 
Is so strong & true. 
I send you my love, 
By using a white dove. 
Although you are far away, 
On my mind is where you stay. 
I can't live with the pain, 
Of never seeing you again. 
I've heard that...

wanna lay down with you
go to the island again and again
become lost in the atlantic breeze of stillness and delight
enjoy the fact that someone genuinely enjoys the pleasure of my company
allow care to sleep soundly
focus of the self instead
let the warmth of your soft flash...

I lay down these stones
And hope you will see
I do this for you
And what may one day be

That I am always there
And truly love you
Worrying about you
Is all that I do

These stones have meanings
This I did learn
When you turn one over
Progress is earned

One stone means...

Lay down and rest now,lay down and rest 
You've sown wisely,you've given your best. 
As friend, wife, and mother you've labored with love 
No worries now, no cares now,come rest above. 
 
Leave cupboard and kitchen,needle and thread, 
Broom and dustpan,come lay down your head....

He was tough, he’d been raised to be big, fit and strong, 
To hide any hurt, pain or fear.
He’d prepared for this fight, bottling his feelings, 
Living an unemotional atmosphere. 

Then the time had arrived, a fight till the end,
He had to win this fight...

I dreamed of you last night, you wore a smile
Fifty years ago you took your life
And left me for the agony, the trial

Since then I’ve had no vision but denial
Your face was absent,cut out by a knife
I dreamed of you last night, your little smile

There...

When you lay down to sleep, 
I hope the darkness holds you close 
Enough that you don't feel alone-
When you dream, I hope that
You will dream sweetly, even
If you are not dreaming of me-
When the sun rises in the morning,
I hope that first slant of...

“Souls and Bodies We’ll Lay Down”

Ominous clouds have 
Invaded my soul;
Thrust swords into my heart.

Darker than the midnight air.
Stars gone forever more.
Bloodied hands in my dreams.

I dream not of tranquility
But of lightning and thunder
Pain and hunger.

I pray for your peace
Your hope and honor.
For blue skies...
