Prayer of Peace

...please don't drink and drive....

Prayer of Peace

 

“Now lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep, and if I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take.”

 

          I didn’t drink and I didn’t drive…

So why am I laying here watching time drizzle by?

          I’m sorry I let him drink and I’m sorry I let him drive.

I just wanted you to be proud of me and I really did try.

 

          I don’t know what I did that was so bad….

But now I lay here paying the price.

          I can hear daddy shouting oh mommy I’m so afraid…

Everything is going quiet as the night begins to fade away.

 

          Don’t cry for me for I’ve found peace…

I pray you forgive daddy I know he’s made mistakes.

          I’ll never forget you or daddy or anybody else….

Please, never forget me but don’t miss me.

 

          The stars are falling out of the sky right into my chest…

I can hear all the sounds around me it sounds like I’m breaking.

          I feel no pain everything is starting to go quiet.

 

Oh mom there are angels around me they’re all white and snowy…

I can’t tell who is the angel anymore there are so many faces.

          I can feel myself leaving and I miss you all…..

But I want my last breath to be used saying goodbye to you.

 

          I’m sorry mom that I let dad drive drunk…

I was so afraid and now I know why.

          I’m going to a new place where everything is okay.

Don’t worry mom I found peace as I drifted away.

 

I didn’t drink I swear but daddy said he was fine now I’m no longer here.
