Sweet Dreams

A children's bedtime poem - illustrations to follow

Go little sleepyhead to the world of sweet dreams
Float down the rivers and bubbling streams

Explore the forests and swing through the trees
Trek through the mountains and swim in the seas

Run with the zebras all black and white
See how they shimmer in the moonlight

Swing with the monkey's amongst the leaves
Faces all smiling as they play in the trees

Walk with the elephant as she journey's afar
Following that one distant bright star

Fly with the birds, hear their call
Their bright coloured wings will not let them fall

Sing with the wolf as he calls to the moon
Every night he sings a different tune

Huddle with penguins as they stand in the snow
See northern lights make the night glow

Float with the seals on water so deep
Feel as it ripples, shifts and sweeps

Swim with the fish in the deep blue sea
Darting about, catching their tea

Play with the dolphins as they chatter and squeek
Until, like you, they settle to sleep

Seek out the secrets, stories to be told
Find all the treasures that your heart can hold
And dream all the dreams that wait to unfold
