Now I lay me down to
sleep,
I pray that my sanity to keep;
For
if some peace I do not find,
I'm pretty sure
I'll lose my mind.
I pray
I find a little quiet
Far from the daily
family riot;
May I lie back ... not have to
think
About what they're stuffing down the
sink,
Or who they're with, or where they're
at,
And what they're doing to the cat.
I pray for time all to
myself
(Did something just fall off a shelf?)
To cuddle in my nice, soft bed
(Oh no!
Another goldfish ... dead!)
Some silent moments for
goodness sake
(Did I just hear a window
break?)
And that I need not cook or clean
...
(Well heck! I've got the right to dream!)
Yes, now I lay me down to
sleep,
I pray my wits about me keep;
But
as I look around I know ...
I must have lost
them long ago!
