Childhood prayers

One of my earliest memories is of my sisters and I kneeling beside our beds and praying our goodnight prayers.

Angel of God, my guardian dear. To whom God's love entrusts me here. Ever this day be at my side, to light, to love, to rule and to guide. Amen.

Then we would say, Dear God, bless mommy and daddy, my brothers and sisters, my grandmas and grandpas, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends. Amen.

Then we would kiss mom and dad (if he was in the house) and they would say, Good night, God bless you, have a good sleep. See you in the morning!

I still smile thinking of those sweet times.
