Every night I pray to God <br />for him my soul to keep, <br />that he will bathe me with his light <br />and wisdom every night. <br />I ask for peace within our world, <br />and to guide us with his love. <br />With so many prayers to hear, <br />I wonder if he ever hears mine, <br />then I wake to a brand new day, <br />and hope that he has heard. <br />Then that little peace at dawn <br />before the birds begin to sing, <br />gives me hope that this new day, <br />somewhere around the world <br />will see a little peace come <br />upon a conflict and stay. <br />That he will bathe them with his light <br />wherever that peace may be. <br /> <br />24 July 2007<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bathe-them-with-his-light/
