Father may I sit in the grass with you, and watch the sun go down
May I ask you, when will my journey end
May I see you in my dreams every night
May I know in my soul that you are always with me
And Father may I tell you my secrets when they overwhelm me
May I always be kind, even when I don’t want to be
May I choose to do the right thing at the right time
May I feel you beside me as I see the stars glisten
And Father may my children know that they are loved by you and me
May they also know that I did the best I knew how
May I never stumble in my faith in who you are and what you do
May I love even those who are not loveable
And Father, will you save me a place in your heaven, so that I may finally understand the true meaning of your love.
