G’night

The sun is setting

The evening is here

It’s getting darker

Bedtime is near

Dinner is done

The table’s been cleaned

The dishes are washed

It’s time to read

The birds are quiet

The neighbors are too

“Find your pjs, after you clean up your toys and the shoes.

Brush your teeth, use the timer.”

“I don’t wanna.”

“Shh, no whiners.”

Get ready for bath time, soapy suds

So fresh, so clean are my little loves

The traffic has begun to calm down

And all the noises around the town

Good night stories for my little dears

Time to lie down and say our prayers

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

Guide and guard me through the night

And wake me with the morning light

If I shall die before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take

Thank you Lord for all you’ve been

Lord please bless my family and friends

Near and far throughout the land

Lord please keep blessing my life

My heart , my soul and my mind

Bury your word in my heart

From your will, may I never part

Guide and protect me all the days

Change me from my selfish ways

Shine your light upon my house

Let your praises continually be in my mouth

For you are good and you are love

With love I send these prayers above

In Jesus’ name, amen

After big hugs and kisses are shared

Before Mommy departs into her lair

A short sweet reminder is always given

To tell of God’s love and alert Jesus is risen

“God loves you the most,”

Mommy whispers

As she shuts the door

And blows more kisses

“Alexa, play lullabies.”

Now it’s officially bedtime

Time to sleep, time to unwind

Time for peace and silent stillness

To prepare mentally for what is next

For tomorrow might just be the best day yet
