  1. A Prayer

    Share Share Post
    Oh Mother are you sleeping
    No son, but I am dreaming
    What are you dreaming of?
    I am dreaming that you are tearing, wearing, wailing nailed to a Cross and a Crown of Thorns on Your head.
    That is a very good dream Mother and whoever says it three times going to bed shall never see the the Gates of hell but are sure that the Gates of Heaven shall be open to to him.
