Bless Those I Love

Star light, star bright,

God bless those I love tonight,

Keep them safe and keep them warm,

Shelter them from life’s chill storms,

Send them grace and send them light

Protect them with Your loving might

And when they wake show them the way

Into a shining, fresh, new day.

By Linda Brown
