Now I Lay Me Down And Wish Poem by Heather Kemper

Now I Lay me down to sleep,
I wish the answer to my prayer I'll meet.
i wish to wake up
not quite so tall.
With soft tan skin
that's warm not flawed.
With eyes of emerald,
so I may clearly see.
The way to be alive
awake and free.
As I slumber in sleep and rest,
may the spell take over
work it's best.
May the lines now broken
become again as one.
The parts reconnected
that had come undone.
If those pieces cannot somehow be fixed,
and the prayer left unanswered,
wishes not seen or missed.
Then may this slumber I have taken,
Not bring me back
to this life I wake in.
