"Now I lay me down to sleep"
The little girl began her nighttime prayer
"I pray the Lord my soul to keep"
Fully putting her trust in her Lord and Savior
However the last two lines she leaves out
Not because she doesn't trust that the Lord will take her soul if she fails to wake up
But because she adds two of her own
"If by day break you call me home"
"Don't let my mother live alone"
Her father was a soldier who died in combat
Her mom has tried to move on
But with little success
Most men want to be with her for the wrong reasons
Or they want nothing to do with a child that's not theirs
So the little girl has said her nightly prayers in this fashion
In hopes God will send the right man her mom's way
