Goodnight Mummy

What do children dream of when they go to sleep at night and do their hearts beat faster when the world is out of sight do they dream of Christmas or a birthday yet to come of happy days or holidays - and playing in the sun A place where wishes grow on trees and hide among the flowers where eating sweets makes teeth grow strong and gives you super-powers a timeless world, where yellow suns beam down from big blue skies where bedtime never comes around - and no-one ever cries Or is their sleep a refuge from the terrors of the day a chilling world where secret fears bring panic and dismay a twilight world where darkness clings like giant spider-threads a shadowland where bogeymen hide underneath their beds As parents we all have a say in where they travel to when first they close their weary eyes and shut the world from view don't be afraid to say you love them with all of your might then you'll know what children dream of when they go to sleep at night
