Sweeter Dreams
Little one,
Why do you cry?
It's time to sleep
And you should try.
There is no need
To be afraid.
It's only monsters
YOU have made.
No creature lives
Beneath your bed,
With shining teeth
And horns on head.
The closet only
Holds your cloths and
The door will stay
Completely closed.
There's no such thing
As Booger Bear
Or Big Bad Wolf
That live in there.
Together we
Can beat this fear.
Close your eyes
And I'll stay near.
Just think about
The better things,
Like Oreos
Or diamond rings.
Of high heel shoes
And princess crowns.
Polished nails
And silken gowns.
Of puppy dogs
And tiny kittens,
None of which have
Lost their mittens.
Of powdered sugar
Donut holes
Leaving sweetness
On your nose.
Now, get some sleep.
Just close your eyes,,,
What? We all need
To sleep,,,that's why!
