what does 'call my own' mean in the lyrcis below? does she mean like someone to phone call? or call by shouting?
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman, I'm so alone
Don't have nobody to call my own
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream

I can't get the structure of this sentence
"l pray that Our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave only the cherished memory of the loved lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom."
1. If I rephrase the sentence, does it go like this?(I'd like to know if 'leave' is for both 'cherished moment' and 'solemn pride'
"l pray that Our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and LEAVE only the cherished memory of the loved lost and LEAVE the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom."
2. the 'to have laid' part, what's the meaning of 'to' here? I'm certain that it doesn't mean purpose, and something tells me it modifies the noun 'solemn pride' but I need to disambiguate it with native speakers.

My Dairy
Park told me he would walk me through the machine but he never showed up.
At first I was afraid I might get it broken. I got no instructions or a manual whatsoever.
"I'm breaking this if I put them together alone." said I. but then I recalled there was a what's his name from MIT. I never had a chance to get to know him but the situation was emergent.
What's worse, he was not home. How could these bad events happen to me at once? "There's so many times that this could have happened. why does it have to be now!" Now I had to really face it for myself.

writing exercise
....I tried to fall asleep but I wasn't able to because of my old habit where I could only sleep at my place. There was no light, electricity and no bed whatsoever. In the dark, I fished around in my bag for my journal. I lighted up my lighter and flip the pages to find where I'd been noting down how many dates it's been since my leave. Despite the little foods, I managed to get there and the end of all these is just around the corner. According to the journal, it'd been over one month since I left my home. Suddenly, I felt bad for worrying my family. They must've been spending days in fear.

Self-examination
I think all of my schedule and the way I work is heavily focused on too detail and small things. Certainly, the key in carrying off tasks is in details across the ages and in all countries, but not entirely;or it isn't at least for my current situation. I'm definitely at the point where details bring much smaller results than the ones macro change does. Judging with the objective perspective, I have become so much used to my comfort zone, fearing the necessary change. I'm worried about a lot of whatever the change may bring to me. No more putting off, no more procrastinating, It's time to review myself. As part of that, I'm going to travel off my works for the next month(for a month) to clear my head.
End
Is there anything that sounds off?
