Now I lay me down to sleep,
The king-size bed is soft and deep.
I sleep right in the center 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 to begin
my nibbles on my human’s chin.
She wakes up quickly, I have sharp teeth
I’m a puppy, don’t you see? —
For the 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!
