You made me,
To jump for joy,
To sing happy songs,
To run fast,

To shout loud,
To be a brilliant me!

(a short prayer suitable to pray in the morning with your children)
Dear God,
Every day is new
With exciting experiences ahead.
Every day is new
With yesterdays hurts forgiven.
Every day is new
With disappointment fading away.
Every day is new
Because you cause the sun to rise
And our hopes to soar
As your light floods into our hearts
And gives new life.
