My prayer for Myron
As I lay me down to sleep
Please lord comfort me while I weep
I’m heart broken and it’s not for me to understand
Just wipe my tears and don’t let go of my hand
You know the pain I’m feeling inside
Something I can’t describe
Help me get up from here I’m very weak
Because despite how I feel it’s you I seek
If I shall die before I wake
Take me right to my brother for goodness sake
I’m trying to cope and find a way
But praying is what I do every day
I’m lost without him heartbroken I stated before
This one hurts me to the core
Death is a natural part of life
but does it always have to cut deep like a knife
You took my dad, you took Jenny Hallmon now Myron Braccen to sit with you along your throne
My fear is now I’m alone
I’m in a very dark space
And every time I sleep I see their face
So watch me and hold me while I sleep
and I’m working on my soul in which I know you’ll keep
Rest in peace my only sibling Myron Lee Bracken
