A whisper of a prayer
Rides on the wind tonight
Nighttime clouds of gray
Shrouding sweet moonlight
You can do more than I can do
And see more than I can see
Keep her safe and sound, Lord
And watch over her for me
As chilled breath escapes my lips
And a shiver runs down my spine
My thoughts turn to the woman
Who proudly says she’s mine
Lord, give me strength
And patience, and insight
Add in a little wisdom
Because I want to do this right
The silver moon now hides
Behind a filmy veil
Like a galactic winking eye
In a dreamy, starlit trail
The whispered prayer was short
What else could I say?
“Amen,” I whispered,
Started the engine, drove away.
