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!
