Peaceful Dreams

Children are riches 
    books are treasures
  Read them to sleep
    aboard starships of pleasure

  Tuck them in tightly
    'neath soft blankets of down
  Peaceful dreams' smile 
    the jewel in their crown

Your poem itself reads like a lullaby, Gershon. So beautiful. :)

I'm talking with moccasins on. Don't worry. My car has a muffler too.

That’s so lovely Gershon, it could be sung as a lullaby to help children drop off to sleep… Belle
