May I begin to say, "Now I lay me down to sleep," as
You just stand there staring blankly, *"I pray the Lord my
Soul to keep,"* and as I chant these words
Out of these painful lips. You begin to
Understand this silence, and pain. And
Longing to find any truth left in this trouble world. You join me with
Trying to figure
Out why people are always running. Running to nowhere-land. STOP!
Take a breath. Take a moment for yourself.
And "if I die before I wake"... I will
Keep this positive mind, because In. The.
End; Positive thoughts will conquer all! And ..."I pray the Lord my SOUL to take."

***Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord MY. SOUL. TO. TAKE.***
