| A PARENTS 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 AND 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!!! |
