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!

Ray: I may print off a copy to keep by my pillow for those nights I can't get comfortable. I'm about 80 years past needing it but there are times we all need that kind of encouragement. Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck
