Best Go To Sleep Poems
Stars! Why be awake with me
Hit the bed and go to sleep
You are not enslaved by agony but free
My bleeding soul’s wounds are deep
Through my open window you peep
With your twinkling searching eyes
Your glow in my gloomy nights creep
With the grace of the fireflies
Someone gifted me sleeplessness
And rewarded me with anguish
My nights darkness and gloom dress
Like out of water fish I languish
Why be overly worried for me
A day may return my deserted sleep
Setting from the bondage my soul free
When that happens you must not weep.
Stars! I beseech go to sleep!
May all your worries melt away, hush now and go to sleep.
It's scary, but we must be brave, hush now and go to sleep.
May the world be your playground where you slide freely. But know
that you can't always have your way, hush now and go to sleep.
And may the swing-sets be a gateway to your dreams. The sun
will rise, and again you may play, hush now and go to sleep.
The stars above are but jewels to feast, not to keep. If our
heart is happy we shouldn't change, hush now and go to sleep.
At times Timothy remembers mother's comforting words:
Tomorrow is another day, hush now and go to sleep.
NOTE: A bit of an older poem, that incorporated a couple slant rhymes here and there, but overall I think it turned out decent.
I dread the day when I get "the call"
When they tell me that you've gently slipped away
Well, at least I hope it will be gentle
As you close your eyes and say goodnight
Despite my fear of your imminent passing
My darling, you don't know the times I've prayed
And asked God to take you Home to Him
To come and rescue you from this hellish world
A world in which you've been imprisoned
Unable to walk or talk; your two greatest assets
Enslaved to the bonds of Alzheimer's disease
When you go to sleep, my love
Your spirit will soar to the highest heights
And there you'll be with our Father in Heaven
No more the feeling of indignity
Forget about forgetting!
You'll remember every glorious experience
And spend your time singing praises with the angels
You'll also get to meet our relatives
Who have gone to sleep before us
Our little son is waiting excitedly
To run and fling his arms around you!
He'll take you on a guided tour
Of the endless gardens and babbling brooks
Flowing with life that will never cease
Pain will not be familiar with your name
Fatigue? Just a distant memory
Sickness and disease cannot touch you
And the prospect of death, you'll never know
You can wander around from country to country
Fulfilling your desire to travel the world
Then off you go and explore the stars
That light up the beauty of this earth
Examine the moon, planets and galaxies
Discover Daddy's handiwork
And witness first hand, the beginning of life
As the Big Bang is replayed
Please make sure to keep an eye on us here
Just to see that we're doing okay
Find out what your children are up to
And watch their kiddies turn into parents themselves
Of course, you'll be waiting for the day
When I come and join you for eternity
Until that day, I will always miss you
Thank you so much for coming into my life
Now, lie back, relax, and close your eyes
Go to sleep, my love, you have nothing to fear
Time to sleep so lay down your head little one,
and I will watch over you till the night is done !
All the stars are twinkling and smiling in the sky,
maybe in a sweet dream you can learn how to fly !
The moon above will keep you safe while you sleep,
and in the morning he fades and away will creep !
When you wake the sun will be shining bright,
and all the birds will be singing hello with delight !

Dodgers in five. Yankee fans weep.
Four times Freddie Freeman went deep.
We hope to see you here
again, this time next year.
Duke and Mickey go back to sleep.
Go to sleep, go to sleep
Go to sleep little one
Close your eyes
Watch the skies
While it whispers your name
Go to sleep, go to sleep
Go to sleep little one
Let the stars fall
Let the stars call
While it whispers your name

Go to sleep my Grandchild,
dreams will come in a little while.
Close your eyes little boy,
sleep will bring much joy.
Dream land awaits you,
where troubles will be few.

about my Grandson Brandon who who turn 10 months old on April 10th. i started saying this
to him right after i started taking care of him back in Aug. of last year, but never had an
ending to it until today.
Little child go to sleep,
It is night you need not weep,
I’ll help with your bed-keep,
There you will be sleeping deep,
Zzz-zzz, zzz-zzz, what a peep!
To the girl writing poetry at 2 am
Stop
You are beautiful
You're like the moon if the moon ever came down to earth
You are more precious than a single moon beam shining down through my open window
at night as I lay there wishing for sleep to come
tossing and turning trying to find the power button to turn off my restless mind
You
You are beautiful
Your mind is beautiful
And I know you write these poems because it is your way of bleeding
and these words that you bleed flow and ebb in way that makes me jealous
That makes me awe you
And in the morning I know
You'll feel refreshed and light
But dearie
Put the pencil down
Put the paper up
It is now 3 am
Go to sleep
Trapped in a theater of dreams,
Haunted by heartless screams.
The man who owns this place,
Shows whatever he deems.
Traveling hyper-speed through space,
Not being allowed to see anyone's face,
Still sitting in my chair,
My mind's not in it's place.
There is no such thing as care,
Especially in a place with scare.
The screen is flickering light,
This has to be a nightmare!
Everyone is given a fright,
There isn't any white.
All I can hear are screams,
My spirit has fallen from flight.
Haunted by heartless screams,
Trapped in a theater of dreams.
Dad Did Go to Sleep
Dad did go to sleep
He now lies in ocean deep
While I weep and weep.
My Dad was killed on Aircraft Carrier
Intrepid CNV-11 now in New York
harbor as a museum where a debate
was help. He is now buried in 200 feet
of water off of Sicily. I was 15 and had
3 sisters and two brothers when he died.

God, please remove all fear from my soul,
Whose eyes glow dark, as the blackest coal.
I really forget, as my earthly, fellow humans do,
That you are the only power behind all in the human zoo.
Bring the many lost sheep back to your fold.
One day in heaven, our eyes on you to behold!
We are finite beings, doing our heartfelt best.
But getting into heaven is our ultimate test.
Winning in life does not really count that much.
If we make this our ony goal, and never lose your Divine touch!

Poem 1
Go to sleep now, little one
Though today was so much fun
Playtime is, for now, all done
Close your eyes my little one
Dream of waking with the Sun
When the new day has begun
Then again you'll play and run
Go to sleep now, little one

(Can be sung to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)
Be quiet.
I'm trying to fall asleep.
Stop the disquiet.
I shouldn't need to count sheep.
I'm not interested
in what you might say.
You've been treated for what's inhibited.
You should be okay.
It's of no consequence to me
what you're wearing tomorrow.
Put something on with glee.
I refuse to live in your sorrow.
I'm tired of your fear.
A person shouldn't live this way.
Are you afraid to steer?
Will your direction ever sway?
You need to find the momentum
and flow with the one you love.
Be sure it's with them
and awake to the sun above.
No monsters are beneath your bed
The window’s locked, lay down your head
I’ve read the stories that you like
It’s time for sleep you little tyke
Just one more kiss and then I’m gone
Your stalling has gone on too long
Your mom and I are just down stairs
You’re safe here with your teddy bears
I’m going – I said close your eyes
The moon and stars are in the skies
And little kids all need their sleep
Don’t let me hear another peep
Ok – just maybe one more kiss
But that will be the end of this
