“My Evening Prayer,” Friend, June 1979, 33 My Evening Prayer By Sylvia Lloyd and Darwin Wolford Each night before my prayers are said My dad will sit upon my bed And as we talk about the day My hurts and fears just slip away Because my dad is here with me. My heart feels then that all is well, and so I kneel and softly tell Another Father of my day And thank Him for His loving way Of always being near to me.
