A PRAYER
by Joseph Seamon Cotter Jr. - 1895-1919
As I lie in bed,Flat on my back;There passes across my ceilingAn endless panorama of things - Quick steps of gay-voiced children,Adolescence in its wondering silences,Maid and man on moonlit summer’s eve,Women in the holy glow of Motherhood,Old men gazing silently thru the twilightInto the beyond.
O God, give me words to make my dream-children live.
