- There are four corners in my bed,
And four angels overheard,
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
God bless the bed I lay on,
And if I die before I rise,
I leave my soul to Almighty God.

- My mother (R.I.P.) taught me the above prayer as follows: —
There are four corners on my bed,
There are four angels on them spread,
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
God bless this bed that I lie on.
