Carrie Richards Poet Verse

Skylark Dreams

On the other side
where the dark resides
there are skylarks in the night
While  our children sleep
they bring dreams to keep,
sunlit rainbows, in their flight

With soft wings, they fly
cooing lullabies,
soothing babies in their beds
For each precious child,
dreamland is compiled,
gently laced with pastel threads
