In Half A Lamb's Whisper

Children's Poem

In Half A Lamb's Whisper

In half a lamb's whisper
I could fall asleep.
Into a dream land,
A comfort that's so deep.
After a long day of school
I seem to feel so weak.
My mind ,body, and spirit
Are tamed to total meek.

Then when I awake
All rested and complete,
I make my bed, stretch, eat,
Splash my face and get all neat
Study hard in school,
Smile at people that I meet.
Sing, laugh, listen,
Even play, and compete.

Then again it's time to go home,
Eat, and brush my teeth.
Do my homework and my chores,
Then ice cream is a treat.
Read a book, make a report;
Then I feel complete.
Then in half a lamb's whisper
I could fall asleep.
