Sweet Dreams Lullaby

The sun has set and gone to sleep,
And so now you must too.
Day is done, it's time to rest,
Your bed is waiting for you.

Lay down your golden head, my child,
Upon your pillow soft.
Say your prayers and close your eyes,
As your dreams carry you aloft.

Dream a dream of rainbow skies,
Swing on the stars so bright.
Catch a ride on a unicorn,
As you soar through this magical night.

Dream sweet dreams and never fear,
The angels are watching you.
They'll keep you safe from all harm,
Until this night is through!

Kim, I doubt that a sweeter poem, addressed to a child, exists. Lovely. Hugs, Paul

Lovely verse, written softly to tenderly close the eyes of any child in innocence of sleep. Nicely written.

I love the colors in this, 'golden head' and 'rainbow skies' - I'd like to catch a ride on a unicorn some magical night :)
