Sleepytime Prayer
by CJ Heck
God bless my bedroom.
God bless my bed.
God bless the pillow
where I lay my head.
God bless my mommy.
Bless my dad, too.
They chase away monsters
that live in my room.
God bless my brother.
Bless my dog and my cat,
and, OK, my sister,
even though she's a brat.
Thanks God, and Amen.
Now, up off my knees.
Wait! I forgot somethin'
God bless me too, please.
Bedtime Prayer
by CJ Heck
Now I lay me
down in bed. All my prayers
and night-nights said.
Snuggle bunny, teddy bear,
toasty blankie, all are here.
Out with the light
so dreams will come.
Thank you, God.
Now where's my thumb?
(Night-Night)
Night-Night
by CJ Heck
Night-night moon.
Night-night stars.
Night-night noisy
trucks and cars.
Night-night sand box.
Night-night toys.
Night-night other
girls and boys.
Night-night mom.
Night-night dad.
Night-night Boogie Man
who's not bad.
It's time to go to sleep now,
most all my night nights said.
Night-night blankie.
Night-night bed.
["Night-Night" from Barking Spiders and Other Such Stuff, CJ Heck, 2000)
