Sweet Dreams

Laying myself down My bed becomes a cocoon A warm, safe haven Sleep wraps its arms around me And blesses me with sweet dreams. 12/27/11 For Francine Robert's Short and Sweet Contest

Nice metaphorical way to describe sleep. All you have to do is remove the apostrophe from "it's" in your fourth line. That is not a contraction of either "it is" or "it has". Everything else looks great.
