I PRAY FOR YOUR SOUL
You left us for your next abode
I didn’t know.
You did give a hint,
don’t know how
but I failed to heed.
I pray for your soul
my dearest daughter
a princess to me for ever
I pray for you my dear.
I pray for your soul
as I think so of you
almost every minute of the day
and even when I am asleep
with my night mares and dreams
I pray for your soul,
even when in my dreams
I scream .
I pray for your soul
that you be in peace
now that the agonies of your
life
when you were alive
are now over for ever
as you are now in your long sleep
I pray for your soul my dear
for today, tonight and ever and ever.
