Bedtime Used To Be a Battle

There is no puzzle in Merry’s keen three-year-old mind No confusion about whether or not Pinkie will show tonight Pinkie is her dolphin, who helps her find her way nightly…. to slumberland and worlds her siblings do not remember Merry is sure they used to know it, but they are older now. “Time for bed” used to be a battle, but not anymore. She welcomes the bath, and the book reading now. Understanding that it leads to her dream sleep Where Pinkie is waiting to show her back to slumberland, the world of pixies, faeries, mermaids and angels who love her the best.
