A Kitten'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 cannot
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- And my claws I will unsheath
For the morning
here
and it's time
to play
always seem
to get my way.
So thank you
Lord for giving me
This human person
that I see.
The one who
hugs me and holds me tight
And sacrifices
her bed at night!
