A Child's Morning Prayer of Thanksgiving

Thank you, God in heaven,
For a day begun.
Thank you for the breezes,
Thank you for the sun.
For this time of gladness,
For our work and play.
Thank you, God in heaven,
For another day.

Watch above me while I slept;
Now the dark has passed away,
Thank thee, Lord, for this new day.
