Help me, Lord, <br />To sleep alone again. <br />For just one more night <br />Help me keep the monsters away, <br /> <br />And help me fall awake <br />When I am asleep, <br />And the monsters creep <br />Again into my room, <br /> <br />Trying to take my heart <br />And my soul. <br />Help me keep those lurking creatures <br />Away for just one more day. <br /> <br />Take me into Your loving arms, <br />Keep me safe from nighttime harm, <br />Help me awake to another day, <br />I pray. <br /> <br />Heal the hurts of my being here, <br />And the fact that he is gone. <br />Teach me to stand on my own, <br />And help me sleep alone.<br /><br />Scarlett Treat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/help-me-sleep-alone/
