Kim Merryman Poet Verse

A Lullabye For Ava

Close your eyes my darlin' girl,
day is done, time for dreams to unfurl.
   
Dream of pretty ponies p r a n c i n g by,
of fairies and princesses as well,
maybe even visit Tinkerbelle.
Dream of having wings to f  l  y
then soar through rainbow tinted sky,
                               up where angels dwell.
                    higher
         higher,
rising 

Angels will keep watch
as you dream your sweetest dreams
cocooned in loves warm mantle.
Sleep, my darlin', sleep
until morning rises fair.
Follow your dreams where they lead.

CayCay Godwin September 28, 2016 at 2:13 PM I love this - the set up, flow, content. Would like to hear it sung, can you do that? (I can't, I'm told!) Very lovely, Kim ... CayCay Kim Merryman October 1, 2016 at 11:32 AM Thank you, CayCay! My singing leaves a lot to be desired, so I don't think I'll do that.
