Bedtime Prayers

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep

If I should wake before I die
I pray I'd stop from telling lies

To the one in the mirror
During my evening routine
I promise I'll be better
With the dawn of morning.

To get more done
Around the house
And with the chores
And in the school.

To drink more water
To exercise harder
And to leave off eating
After dark.

To count my blessings
In the midst
And practice the kind tone
I require from kids.

To do more
And delegate less
And read a book
And have a blast!

To complete a project
Or dust a shelf
That hasn't seen me
For at least a month.

To clean the car
And call my mom,
To read my Bible
In a peaceful calm.

And tomorrow,
I'll pray it
Again.
