Now I lay me down to sleep,
\nI pray my sanity to keep.
\nFor if some peace I do not find,
\nI’m pretty sure I’ll lose my mind.<\/p>\n

I pray I find a little quiet
\nFar from the daily family riot
\nMay I lie back–not have to think
\nabout what they’re stuffing down the sink,
\nor who they’re with, or where they’re at
\nand what they’re doing to the cat.<\/p>\n

I pray for time all to myself
\n(did something just fall off a shelf?)<\/p>\n

To cuddle in my nice, soft bed
\n(Oh no, another goldfish–dead!)<\/p>\n

Some silent moments for goodness sake
\n(Did I just hear a window break?)<\/p>\n

And that I need not cook or clean–
\n(well heck, I’ve got the right to dream)<\/p>\n

Yes now I lay me down to sleep,
\nI pray my wits about me keep,
\nBut as I look around I know–
\nI must have lost them long ago!<\/p>\n
