Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
But if I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my --
(Die?)
I pray the Lord to reconsider
let me stay, so to say, intact
I have this book to surrender,
a few close friends to contact
let them know my time is thinner
here Lord I have a short list
some things I may have missed
don't think I can finish
before I sleep unblemished
would you, could you
find room for a delay
that you might consider
another day?
or two--
or maybe three
I have to trim a very large tree
I know asking for four is more
but I could fix a creak in this door
and then I have to explain to the wife
how I let her tropical fish, so adored
depart from this life--
second thought tonight is alright, Lord!
