My Bedtime Poems for Children

66

By erthfrend

My sweet child

lay your head on your pillow

and dream of a soft white cloud.

Wrap yourself up in your favorite blanket

and dream of a peaceful night sky.

May the stars surround you,

the moon shine upon you,

as you dream the night away,

and may your dreams be as sweet

as the flowers in spring

and bloom in your heart

night and day.

******************************************************************************

Dreamy night sky,

twinkling stars,

glowing moon,

peaceful breeze.

Goodnight my baby

as I turn off the light.

I will see you in the morning

when the sun shines

beautiful and bright.

These poems are from one of the two children's books I have written through a creative publishing service called Blurb. If you would like, please take a peek at them at www.blurb.com where you can preview the first 15 pages of each book. Below is a direct link to both books. One is entitled "As the Sky Goes to Sleep" and the other is entitled "Little Caterpillar's Big Dream". The books are filled with beautiful photos of nature and all sorts of things, that I personally took. I hope you enjoy and as always, thank you for reading my hubs!

Thanks for the nice poems. They would be good for anyone to read or memorize for/at bedtime to get better sleep. I like to think thoughts like these as I drift off into pleasant dreams and peaceful rest. My mother read stuff like these to me and my brothers at bedtime when we were very young.

Sweet and lovely - I wish I had little babies to read it to still....may try it on my 'other baby' though - Griffin the malamute. I wish the same good things for him every night as he is such a gift. Thanks for making me think of it!

...this is so profoundly beautiful and moving - that it even put me in the frame of mind to go back to bed and sleep upon reading your poetic lullaby - and I just got up - lol - and the sun is shining - well I know what it is - your sun is shining - for me!

Thank you for your comment on my new hub & I enjoyed your poetry so much that I voted it up & it was my pleasure to feature it in my hub and list it with the "12 that stand out" to myself on all of the hub pages. http://hubpages.com/hub/Great-hubs-are-written-by- I'm so glad that you liked it, cause I was a little worried that I might step on someone's toes. Keep up the great work, and don't stop writing. Merry Christmas.
