Now
I lay me down to sleep,
The
queen-size bed is soft and deep.
I
sleep right in the centre 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 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
morning's 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!
