Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my sanity to keep.
For if some peace I do not find,
I'm pretty sure I'll lose my mind.
I pray I'll 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 ask 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!

That is sweet. I remember a song my mother used to sing
"We are a happy family
On everything we do agree
We kick and fight
and scratch and bite
We are a happy family."

What a great poem ♥ it!!
I welcome it all, the noise, the fights, the broken glasses (we have plastic now - lol) and mostly the UNKNOWN. Now I don't know what to do with myself if my kids are not around ~ wishing for grandchildren is a tad bit waay to early, but you just gotta ♥ them. Thank you for sharing (^.~)

That was awesome, here below is one a humeros one copied from one of my friend's 360,
Ladies plea:-
NOW I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my shape to keep
Please no wrinkles
Please no bags
And please lift my butt before it sags.
Please no age spots
Please no gray
And as for my belly, please take it away.
Please keep me healthy
Please keep me young,
And thank you Dear Lord
For all that you've done.
