| A Parent's Prayer |
| Now I lay me down to sleep,� �I pray my sanity to keep.� For if some peace I do not find,� I'm pretty sure I'll lose my mind.� I pray I find a little quiet� Far from the daily family riot� May I lie back--not have to think� about what they're stuffing down the sink, or who they're with, or where they're at and what they're doing to the cat. I pray for time all to myself (did something just fall off a shelf?)� To cuddle in my nice, soft bed� (Oh no, another goldfish--dead!) Some silent moments for goodness sake (Did I just hear a window break?) And that I need not cook or clean-- (well heck, I've got the right to dream) Yes now I lay me down to sleep, I pray my wits about me keep, But as I look around I know--� I must have lost them long ago! |
