A Prayer of Thanks

by Solaña in World of Books

Before I lay my head to rest,

I think of the life the good Lord

has blesseth me with.

And every night before I lay,

I try to thank Him while I pray.

For my family and friends,

and intelligence He sends.

For my fair wealth and books,

and a love that is all I can taketh.

For sweet music to break all silence,

in the forms of my baby cousin's laugh,

or that of my dog barking his attendance.

I thank Him for scaring away all

nightmares, and giving me fair dreams.

I thank Him for each day I am given,

and for His protection it comes with.

Not for me alone, but for all I love.

I thank Him for all of this, or atleast try.

But the one thing that always enters,

is thankfulness for the happiness He bestows

upon me, each day.

Amen
