Analysis of SAY GOOD NIGHT (Poem 262)

The sunset was red,
A book I have read;
It's almost time for bed.

From my lips my prayers peal
As by my bed I kneel.
Keep my life, Lord, on an even keel.

I'm one of a kind,
No one else like me you'll find,
I say as I put my failures behind

For blessings, thanks I give;
Also, for the joys that I live.
I don‘t need to sift them out in a sieve..

For my blessings are great,
And it's now getting late,
So, I'll lean over and kiss my mate.
