Waiting by the window
My Prayer for You
My prayer for you each morning:
That you are home and safe at night.
I love you far too much to lose you,
You know my heart is ever true.
My prayer for you at lunch time,
That you will think of me
And feel my thoughts are with you
That your troubles will be few.
My prayer for you come evening
Is thanks that you are home secure,
for love with us is everything,
I pray that’s what you’ll always bring.
My prayer for you at night time
Is that you sleep a peaceful sleep,
That I can hold you in my arms
And always live among your charms.
I’d be lost without you,
I’d miss your loving eyes.
Know that I am true dear,
I pray that that is clear.
So that’s my prayer for you, my dear,
That you are happy, safe and here;
I’ll do my part in every way
Untill we both return to clay.
Just as long as we’re together
And you are close to me,
I’ll know my prayers are granted—
And that our lives have mattered.
–H. W. Bryce
This might be a young couple’s prayer. It could be for newlyweds, or for any old couple; it could even be for a care giver praying for his or her wandering Alzheimer’s partner. — May you be spared the ordeal.
Or, it could even just be a love song.
But any way you take it, I wish you safety, health, well being and happiness in 2017.
