Every night my prayers I say.
And get my dinner every day,
And every day that I ´ve been good,
I get an orange after food.
The child that is not clean and neat,
With nlots of toys and things to eat,
He is naughty child, I´m sure
Or else his dear papa is poor.
R. L. STEVENSON

sure , i love it - here's 1 for you.
All alone, by myself
You're not by my side
Can't hear your voice
Throughout the day
Or lay with you at night.
The calls are so very few
I go crazy wondering why.
If only I could reach for you
To know that you're all right.
I pray to God
Each and every night
That he'll keep you safe and sound
And one day soon you'll come home to us
We need you here right now.
No matter where you're at tonight
I'm with you in your heart.
The kids keep asking for you,
I tell them you've gone bye.
But how do I stop the nightmares
And the crying in the night.
My heart aches for you
And no matter how hard I try
I can't keep the tears from falling
Everytime we say goodbye.
I love you and I miss you
I hope you'll be home soon
You're our greatest hero

I like to share this one with everyone.. I just love it to bits :)
And Out of My Dreams Came You!
by Susan Leilani
Deep in the silence, one nightfall
When the moon sat still, shone bright,
Came the utterance of one single moonbeam
At my window... tapping, ever so light;
And in the flicker of one swift instant
I felt its warming embrace;
It encompassed me and then I trembled
As before me appeared your sweet face.
Then the radiance of that gentle smile,
The love shining soft in your eyes,
Began to penetrate with the moonlight
Straight through me, to deafen my cries.
Now, no longer am I ever lonely.
With each nightfall there's you and love's true:
In the darkness I seek out my moonbeam
And out of my dreaming... comes you!
And in the flicker of one swift instant
I felt its warming embrace;
It encompassed me and then I trembled
As before me appeared your sweet face.
And in the flicker of one swift instant
