"time To Sleep"

Don't toss and turn through the night....
Open your window for my words are in flight...
Pull your blanket up tight and rest your head my dear..
For my soul drifts close to lift any fear...
Let your eyes close and dream of tomorrow...
That will be filled of joy and not any sorrow....
Let your bed be my arms as you sleep in peace....
And keep that window open so I can drift in as a breeze...
