prayer number one is for my girl
prettiest thing in this cold world
watched her learn to walk, talk
and grow. she grows. she knows.
she knows the secret i can tell
plants it deep, hides it well
cool water seeps up through the ground
through my toes. round and round

prayer number two is for my son
all he may or may not become
it can be so hard to turn a boy into a man
i'm doing all i can
to slay the dragon with the sword
blade so sharp, grip so worn
so little left
don't want to waste my time anymore

with the children fast asleep
now I lay here counting sheep
what can one man hope to be?
thats why my last prayer
is for me.
