Goodnight God

I hope you are having

a good time being the world.

I like the world very much

I'm glad you made the plants

and trees survive with the

rain and summers.

When summer is nearly near

the leaves begin to fall.

I hope you have a good time

being the world.

I like how God feels around

everyone in the world.

God, I am very happy that

I live on you.

Your arms clasp around the world.

I like you and your friends.

Every time I open my eyes

I see the gleaming sun.

I like the animals - the deer,

and us creatures of the world,

the mammals.

I love my dear friends.

Bedtime Prayer

Bless me Lord, this night I pray,

Keep me safe till dawn of day,

Bless my mother and my father,

Bless my sister and my brother,

Bless each little girl and boy,

Bless them all for heavenly joy.

Amen.

Bedtime Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake,

I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Mealtime Blessing

Thank you for the world so sweet,

Thank you for the food we eat.

Thank you for the birds that sing,

Thank you God for everything.
