At bedtime, Mira likes one of us to snuggle her. She usually says a prayer privately after singing the shema. Tonight she wanted to share it out loud. This is tonight's prayer, from what I can remember:
"Baruch ata adonai eloheinu melech ha-olam, please, please send a team of special angels to watch over me and keep me safe and from having bad dreams. Please, please, please, please, please, please do this for my family and all my friends. Please do this for everyone in the whole world, except for bad mean people who do evil things; wait, a minute, that's not nice. Please, God, watch over their hearts and help them find kindness. Thank you so, so, so, so, so, so much. Baruch ata adonai eloheinu melech ha-olam, shomei-ah tefilah."
Amen to that, my sweetheart! I'll take your blessings anyday or night.
