Childhood Prayer

As I lay me down to sleep… Later Lord, this just won’t keep Can I have that beautiful doll The one with the curly hair, next to the wall… Oh yeah, I pray the Lord my soul will keep… Thank you Lord for all your blessings of today (and thanks for keeping that maths test away) Thank you Lord for all we share Especially having so few sprouts to spare Thanks Lord, that made my day Lord Bless, mummy and keep her well Lord bless daddy and make him tell The surprise he’s only hinted at It’s sure to be good, so have a chat And send me an angel ‘cause I nearly fell I ‘m tired now and have nothing left to say So Lord, we’ll chat another day Oh one more thing before I go An important thing you just have to know I love you Lord and soon will learn to pray.
