Prayer For A Child= By Rachel Field= Pictures By Elizabeth Orton Jones

This is such a beautiful book, I had to share it, For Mother’s Day I received several old children’s books from my son Joe who knows that I am a child at heart. Its for 2-5 yr olds, and adults like me. The Prayer-Poem  is called Prayer for a child = You can buy it on Amazon

Bless this milk and bless this bread.

Bless this soft and waiting bed.

Where I presently shall be, wrapped in sweet security.

Through the darkness  and through the night, let no danger come to fright, my sleep till morning once again, beckens at the window pane.

Bless the toys whose shaps I know,

The shoes that take me to and fro, up and down and everywhere,

Bless my little painted chair.

Bless the lamplight, bless the fire, bless the hands that never tire, in their loving care of me.

Bless my friends and family. Bless my Father and my Mother, and keep us close to one another.

Bless other children, far and near, and keep them safe and free from fear.

So let me sleep and let me wake in peace and health, for Jesus’s sake. Amen
