EVENING PRAYER FROM THE LIZARD BOOK

Thank you for this day that is ending. Thank you for this coming night. My God, That she lulls the sleep of sleeping men May she rock those I love. Let her rock me myself, Until tomorrow. In this day that ends, Not everything was beautiful, well done, or perfect. Repair, if possible, erase, change, And give us the strength to do better tomorrow. In this day that ends, Men have suffered. Get well, if possible. Lessens hurt or sorrow. Make something come to ease their pain. Someone go help them. And may this night do them good. In this day that ends, We weren't what we should have been. Make us better, my God, if that's possible. Less harsh towards others, Softer, more patient. Make us stronger too, more determined, more demanding for ourselves, Truer in our words, More faithful to our promises, More active in our work, More obedient and more submissive to what is right, More laughing too, And may tomorrow be more beautiful than today, greater. Thank you for this day that is ending. Thank you for this coming night. May she lull the sleep of sleeping men. May she rock those I love. Let her rock me myself, Until tomorrow.
