<br>

PRAYER<br>

Oh God-our heavenly Father.<br>

Oh, God-and my father <br>

Who is also in heaven.<br>

May the light of this<br>

Flickering candle<br>

Illuminate the night the way<br>

Your spirit illuminates my soul.<br>

<br>

Papa, can you hear me?<br>

Papa, can you see me?<br>

Papa can you find me in the night?<br>

Papa are you near me?<br>

Papa, can you hear me?<br>

Papa, can you help me not be frightened?<br>

Looking at the skies I seem to see<br>

A million eyes which ones are yours?<br>

Where are you now that yesterday<br>

Has waved goodbye <br>

And closed its doors?<br>

The night is so much darker;<br>

The wind is so much colder;<br>

The world I see is so much bigger<br>

Now that I'm alone.<br>

Papa, please forgive me.<br>

Try to understand me;<br>

Papa, don’t you know I had no choice?<br>

Can you hear me praying,<br>

Anything I'm saying<br>

Even though the night is filled with voices?<br>

I remember everything you taught me<br>

Every book 1've ever read...<br>

Can all the words in all the books<br>

Help me to face what lies ahead?<br>

The trees are so much taller<br>

And I feel so much smaller;<br>

The moon is twice as lonely<br>

And the stars are half as bright...<br>

Papa, how I love you...<br>

Papa, how I need you.<br>

Papa, how I miss you<br>

Kissing me good night...<br>
