SLEEPYHEAD
BY FIONA CUMMINGS
Goodnight my darling
See you in the morning
You are fighting it but you’re yawning
So just close your eyes now
I will place a kiss
upon your brow
Think of a wonderful place
A moon made from cheese
A cool breeze
On a hot beach
A giant juicy peach
Looking out to sea
A shell framed picture of bluey green
Then imagine the most beautiful scene
A mermaid wresting on a rock
Flipper feet and golden locks
A smiling whale
And a playful dolphin
Flapping his tail
You are laughing
He is showing off to you
Skies are so blue
And the sun is a bright yellow melon
Dream my little one I think you are falling
I shall quietly leave your room
With your teddy tucked under your covers
Tiptoeing away like
all Mothers
Trying not to wake their babies
So they can spend one
hour on their hobbies
Hmm. In their, dreams?
As sitting on a beach
Eating ice creams
Is also only for their head
When it is time for us to relax
And go to bed
All I ask for my darling child
Is for you to know how much you are loved
Without pain or fright
All day and every single night
Sleep my little angel
Keep far from any trouble
Walk on velvet carpets
Not rubble
I love you
And will forever
As long as we are together
On this land
I will hold your hand
Try to understand
And give you advice
Whether you take it is your choice
Just know I am here
If you ever feel fear
It is my job
And it’s sometimes hard
But I brought you into this world
To give you my heart of gold
To buy all the love that is sold
To share
To care
And always be there
Goodnight
God bless
Now wrest
