A Childs Prayer

Dear Lord,

As I kneel down next to my bed tonight.
Protect me from the monsters, who stay out of
sight. Bless my mommy and daddy, in all that
they do. Forgive my older brother, for what
he said about you.

Take care of me, as I dream away. Help
me to make it to, the very next day. Please
let my enemies have peace and happiness. I know
you will love them, as well as bless.

Please let all my dreams, and wishes
come true. The love in my heart, is only
for you. I guess I should go, for now,
good night. Please let your love shine,
so I will have a night light.

Amen
