Prayer of Mine

This is one of the first poems I wrote and is one of my personal favorites!

          As the sun tucks his light
                       away,                                                                                       

To save for another day;

          In blankets of lavender, pink, and gold.

The stars appear, and shimmer with light

          Ever joyful and merry too, they shine so bright;

They are blanketed by velvet, away from the cold.

          Under the sky in a room painted pink

A little girl watches, as the golden sun sinks

          Smiling softly she climbs into bed,

And closing her eyes and bowing her head,

          She prays to her God, Father, and Friend.

“Dear Jesus, I pray, I love you so much;

          Please help me to sleep, without nightmares and such

Thank-you for sunsets and stars that shine,

          And thank-you for listening to this prayer of mine.”
