In Memory of Jacob Apple E-mail
Written by Tamara Pighet   

This poem was written for a co-worker of mine whose 8 year old son just passed away on December 21, 2007.

Jacob's Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep, I know my soul you'll surely keep and if I die before I wake, I pray dear Lord my body you'll take. I pray that you will keep my mommy and daddy strong, let them know that Heaven is where I belong. I pray that you watch over my brother and sisters with care and know in spirit I am always there. I pray for those nurses and doctors who take care of me when I was ill and know Lord that it was you  that gave them the skill. I pray now that I can finally rest because in your arms is where I will sleep best. Amen.
