Sweet Dreams

Prayers Before Bed

By: - Mar 07, 2015

 

Sweet Dreams

Now I lay me down to sleep
Prayers at bedtime
Mom tucking me in
Secrets and confessions
Like the nuns taught me
Intitially
Will you marry me when I grow up
Wait for me
We’ll see she said softly
Later an update
Wedding cancelled
Tearfully
Don’t know how to tell you
Hope you’re not mad
I want to be a priest
The sisters say
Best you can do with your life
Serve Jesus
Like they do
Calmly responded
It’s a calling
If that’s what you want
Then after seeing Swan Lake
The old Boston Opera House
Decided to be
A ballerina
Or maybe a cowboy
