A PRAYER FOR MY SON
Bid a strong ghost stand at the head
That my Michael may sleep sound,
Nor cry, nor turn in the bed
Till his morning meal come round;
And may departing twilight keep
All dread afar till morning’s back
That his mother may not lack
Her fill of sleep.

That his mother may not lack her fill of sleep. Prettiest lines ever! Really, I’m going to learn how to cross-stitch or embroider or whatever it is so I can put that on a pillow.
That was the line that got me, Cindy. So sweet.
