Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray my soul no longer weeps,

If I dream before I wake,

I pray my soul the Lord doth make,

to fly free and high above the sorrows,

To live and love for each tomorrow.

*This is my own adaption of a common bedtime prayer; writing it connected me with my past and with the present.  Life isn’t easy for anyone.  We need time to dream and explore life beyond what brings us down.  Dream, love and live my friends.
