Say Good Night

When it is time for bed
Do not forget your milk and bread
Brush your teeth, wash your face
Be prepared this is not a race


Have a shower or a bath
Pick the toys that make you laugh
Get your mum to brush your hair
Then snuggle up to your teddy bear


Kneal down say your prayers
don't forget the lord cares
Turn off your lamp and your light
And then to mum and dad say good night.
