Late Night Prayer

late at night,
at last in bed,
fatigue upon me,
the blankets and sheets
pulled tight, I
close my
eyes and say a prayer.

hands are flat together
as i was taught
when a child at church.

thank you God
for all the blessings
you've given me,
for all the love that
others give and share,

and especially i'm
grateful
for removing all
the suffering and evil
that once lived here.
