Prayer of a Sleep Deprived Mother

I started composing this in my head around 2am one recent morning. . . It progressed (and became a little more exaggerated) as the night went on.

Now I lay me down for the 50th time tonight

I beg and plead that I might sleep alright

And if my boys continue to wake me every quarter hour

I pray that when I wake I won't be grumpy and sour

And when my husband's alarm goes off in not too long

I ask that I not hear the song

Or at least that he won't push snooze time after time

So I can enjoy just a few moments of sleep sublime

Can anyone relate? It's a good thing these little ones come so irresistibly adorable and loveable!
