Now I Lay Me

Now I Lay Me
by Colleen Wyers

Now I lay me down to sleep
Mommies pillow under feet
Wrapped up in her patchwork quilt
Ready to lay on shivering guilt.

Mommy comes to climb into bed
Finds me in her place instead
She shifts my leaded body over
Climbs on in, pulls up the cover.

There I snuggle warm and safe
Close my eyes to end the day.

Now I lay me down to sleep
Mommies arms wrapped tight around me.
