Final Prayer

by Jenn L. Habjan - Virgo

Final Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep  
deep with in my soul I weep 
down and down I will go 
sinking slowly in the snow 

I am waiting here below
desperate for that final blow
I will stay in here tonight
and wait until the morning light

Though heart and mind are meek 
I pray the lord my secrets keep 
for when above gets nice and bright 
I fear that I may have to fight 

Trying hard to find a way 
just to see another day 
for in my heart I no longer hide 
the feelings that I feel inside 

There is no time to be timid
and the past is getting less vivid
deep inside thoughts collide
emotions cannot be cast aside

Lord, please show me a sign  
telling me just how much time 
I have left with the ones I love 
that I know are sent from you above 

Mom and Dad please do try 
along with others not to cry  
that is not the way I want things to be  
all I ask is to remember me

Reason for writing:

    It wasn't written for the recent terrorist attacks, but it seems to fit right now.  My heart and prayers are with everyone right now.
