A Cat’s Prayer

Poetry No Comments

Now I lay me down to sleep,

The king-size bed is soft and deep…

I sleep right in the center groove

My human 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 –

And my claws I will unsheath

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 me and holds me tight

And sacrifices her bed at night.
