    • ok, she came home for a "visit", but does that mean she is staying? Not likely....

    Masichists' Prayer

     Now I lay me down to sleep,
    I pray the lord my soul to keep.
    Should I not wake before dawns' break
    I pray the lord let me never wake.
    I sleep and dream of days gone past,
    I pray this sleep will forever last.
    If I wake, somehow, by the grace of God,
    death will be in my prayers with every nod.
    Now I lay me down to sleep,
    my soul, the lord he'll never keep.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
