A Child's Prayer

Why twinkle twinkle little star.
   I hope someone, knows where you are.
   If you are lost and need a friend,
   I'll pray to God, so He will send
   A shooting star, to guide you home
   As you seem small like me, don't roam.
   Today i heard my father say,
   That stars live on the milky way
   So play where other stars will be
   They'll keep you safe, like mum does me.
   Twinkle twinkle tomorrow night
   I'll twinkle back by candle light
   Goodnight Godbless keep shining bright.
   Send me sweet dreams til morning light.
