Child’s Bedtime Prayer
Before I lay me down to sleep...And fall into a slumber deep... Hear this little prayer of mine...Hope it gets to you in time... Bless those on land and sea and air...Who fight for freedom here and there...Send special blessings from above...Protect them with your shield of love...Return them safely, we humbly pray...To the land of the free...And the Home of the Brave... ; Amen.
