A Puppy's Prayer

 

Now I lay me down to sleep The king-size bed is soft and deep.. 

I sleep right in the center groove My human being can hardly move! 

I've trapped her legs, she's tucked in tight And here is where I pass the night 

No one disturbs me or dares intrude Till morning comes and "I want food!" 

I sneak up slowly to begin My nibbles on my human's chin. 

She wakes up quickly, I have sharp teeth- 

I'm a puppy, don't you see? For the morning's here And it's time to play 

I always seem to get my way. So thank you Lord for giving me 

This human person that I see. The one who hugs and holds me tight 

And shares her bed with me at night!
