In the still of night <br />I turn out the light <br />And always say a quick prayer. <br />I don't know who to <br />It's just something I do <br />In case there's somebody there. <br /> <br />And I've hoped through the years <br />There's someone who hears <br />But often had reason to doubt <br />Though I live in the hope <br />That they'll throw me a rope <br />When I'm down and I need pulling out. <br /> <br />And I think when I do <br />Of friends old and new <br />And give them a mention as well, <br />So, if 'they' keep a book, <br />When they have a quick look <br />Whoever's in need they can tell. <br /> <br />In the still of last night <br />I turned out the light <br />And went through my usual tryst <br />And before I was through <br />I told them that you <br />Should be right at the top of the list.<br /><br />Terry Donovan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-still-of-the-night/
