Goodnight prayers

As a child I remember my parents always saying our prayers at night. I wanted to carry on that tradition with our children but wasn't fond of the tradition children's prayer "if I should die". So I decided to write my own prayer for G & S. So here is the Dalton children's prayer.

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Be with Mommy & Daddy
Gideon & Sylvie
Pa & Barba
Granddawn & Dandy
Be with cousins and friends
Aunts & Uncles too
And keep us safe all
The night through.
Amen

It melts my heart, now that he says it all by himself.
