A Midnight Prayer Poem by Gabriel Jirgba

Gimme a lullaby Lord, gimme a song
Gimme a beautiful sparrow-like voice
Gimme a song never sung before
That I may sing to this sleeping child
To this resting 'Metalic Blue Butterfly'
Who'se being all along on the petals of my heart

Gimme a candle Lord, gimme light
Inner the darkest corners of my heart
To thrive on the terrors of the night
And shine Lord, on quendary
Father, then a grin; wild nd beautiful
A smile to brighten this little gloomy face

Gimme a song to be sung for ages
A voice and a lullaby
Sweet enough to get this child asleep
