Evening Prayer

Have you ever lain a-bed at night
and thought of the day just past ?
Wished you had been a little more kind
had not spoken in anger so fast ?

Have you ever remembered the many things
you somehow neglected to do ?
Or some of the words that others have said
and how they affected you ?

Do you blush at the stupid remarks you made
not meaning to say them at all ?
And wondered how you could be so dumb
as to think that you never would 'fall' ?

How comforting then, at end of day
to kneel by the bed to pray
asking our heavenly Father above
to forgive what we've done today !
