A Good Night Prayer Poem by Garrett Westcott

Dear God,
Thank-You for the many blessings that my country enjoys
Thank-You for food, clothing, and shelter for our girls and boys
Thank-You for Your power that protects us from harm
Thank-You for a refuge in tempest and storm
Thank-You for the politicians that help the country run
Thank-You for the men in blue that carry the badge and the gun
Thank-You for getting the economy on track
Thank-You for protecting us from terrorist attacks
Please bless the land of the red, white, and blue
Please bless our children and teach them the golden rule
May Christmas be merry throughout all the years
May You give us courage to face all of our fears
Thank-You for this shelter that I made out of this box
Please guide us and protect us down the roads that we walk
Amen
