The Happy Dog's Bedtime Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep,
The king size bed is soft and deep.
I sleep right in the comer groove
My human being can 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 my food!

I sneak up slowly and it begins
My nibbles on my human's chin.
She wakes up slowly and smiles and shouts,
"You darling beast! Just cut it out!"

But mornings here and it's time to play
I always seem to get my way.
So thank you Lord, for giving me
This human person that I see
The one who hugs and holds me tight
and shares her bed with me at night!
