    Poem Commentary

    This was a poem I wrote for my youngest daughter when she was just a teenager.It was the first time I ever left her alone at night by herself.I was feeling uneasy & so I prayed & then felt led to write this poem.The next day when I got home,she told me this was how she felt but didn't want to worry me.But a mother knows,no matter how far away she may be.

    A LITTLE PRAYER

    A LITTLE PRAYER

    I SAID A LITTLE PRAYER
    FOR YOU LAST NIGHT,
    THAT GOD WOULD LEAD YOU ON
    EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT.

    THAT HE WOULD HOLD YOU
    IN HIS LOVING ARMS
    KEEPING YOU,MY DARLING SAFE
    FROM ALL OF LIFES HARMS.

    THAT WHEN YOUR FEELING DOWN
    OR WHEN YOUR FEELING BLUE
    YOU'D SAY A LITTLE PRAYER
    FOR HIM TO SEE YOU THROUGH.

    KNOWING THIS FEELING WOULD PASS
    WHEN TO HIM YOU CRY.
    HE'LL GIVE YOU AN INNER PEACE
    AND YOUR TEARS,HE'LL DRY.

    SO ALWAYS REMEMBER MY DARLING
    THAT GOD WILL HEAR YOUR PRAYER
    HE'S ALWAYS RIGHT BESIDE YOU
    HE'LL MEET YOU ANYWHERE.

    SO NOW I'LL END MY LITTLE PRAYER
    THAT I PRAYED LAST NIGHT WHILE AWAY
    SAYING'THANK YOU GOD FOR MY ANGEL GIRL,
    THAT YOU GAVE ME ONE DECEMBER DAY'.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
