Sleep My Little Boy

Sleep My Little Boy

Sleep my little boy
Dream of things
That thrills your heart
Rest in peaceful
Fluffy clouds
That rest in God’s loving arms

As the sheep
Jump over fences
Let your sleep be not disturbed
Let the scent 
Of fresh flowers
Come through your window with the breeze
~
Sleep my precious little one
Let God’s love do its work
Wake up to bright sunny skies
Let the covers
Wrap around you
As your puppy snuggles at your feet

Catch my kisses
In the air
As I lean against your door
Be assured 
That I’ll be here
When your precious eyes awake
