oh come, my dear little wee one what a long, full day you've had this is the last that you'll see sun but please, now, don't you be sad the sun, just like you, can be shy though it may never seem in a rush it will soon give a kiss to the sky to say its good night with a blush ~ my dear little wee one do not make a peep blow a kiss to the sun as you both welcome sleep the moon and the stars will dance with the morn to spindle dreams, sweet 'til a new day is born ~ oh come, my dear little wee one it's time to make ready for bed the blush of the heavens has begun just like you, its cheeks turn to red the sun works so hard in the daytime so it just needs to rest for a while all day it shines bright in your playtime but is there every morning to smile ~ my dear little wee one don't whisper a sound blow a kiss to the sun you're both slumber-bound the moon and the stars will dance 'til you wake to spin your dreams, sweet to the morrow's daybreak ~ oh come, my dear little wee one as the stars wink pink high above find your noggin a sky's cloudy pillow bundled warm in my blanket of love ... ~ my dear little wee one do not parlay your cry blow a kiss to the sun as the eve draws nigh the moon and the stars will dance thru the night to spin your dream, sweet 'til a dawning day's light ... and remember - I love you ... with all ... my ... might. ~ 1st Place ~ in the "Nursery Rhyme 5" Poetry Contest, Eve Roper, Judge & Sponsor.

So sweet and pretty. If my children were little it would be a definite read at bedtime. Loved the picture that corresponds to your poem. Mother of three, who are now grown-ups, and myself a pre k, and retired kindergarten teacher, I can appreciate your lovely text. Sweet dreams...

Thank you so very much, Marikate - my three are grown as well, and I have five grandkids and two great-grandkids!! My mother, who is still alive, (I take care of HER now), used to recite "Wynken, Blynken & Nod" to me and my sibs as children, and that's what the picture is above ... very special to me. Blessings!

Zowie Greg! I absolutely loved your nursery rhyme. Tender and sweet introducing the effects of the sun and the moon upon a child’s world. This little master piece is so deserving of First Place! Congratulations. I was delighted all the way through. Into my Faves! I hope you are well? Losing my husband hit me hard and I have been away for nine months. It is wonderful to be back reading your wonderful poetry again my friend. Blessings xx
