Before you I go to sleep
I want to say I love you
My love for you is bigger
Than that dark sky above you
Before you rest your head
I want you to know I care
I will always be there for you
No matter when or where
Before you shut your eyes
I want to kiss your head
I want to be the one who tucks you
Into your soft bed
Before your breath is peaceful
I want to give you hope
A reason to keep on living
A light to help you cope
Before this day has ended
And yet another begins
You will know that I Am God
And I've cleaned all your sins
Author notes
Do you feel God cradle you in His arms each night before you fall asleep? I do.

Hey girl. I love the lines, "A reason to keep on living A light to help you cope" I find that God does give me reasons to keep on living. I know with my eating disorder, I have to look at my family as my reason to keep on living. This is so beautiful. That is great you got honorable winner. Hope to hear from you soon.

How precious and sweet! This is so perfect! To feel this close to God is what true Christianity is all about. Some think it is being pious, knowing a lot, or just being "Spiritual" The truth is you are more spiritual and stronger when you are in our Daddies arms than any other place! Courtney, this is one of the sweetest things I have read in a long time! Stay in his arms princess!
I know the Lord has greeat things in mind for you! I am honored to know you and to be your AP daddy. I am bookmarking this piece for I am sure I need to read it again! God bless you and love you so much, mark
