Dreamer's Street

As mommies sing so soft and low
Their tired little babies go
Off to sleep where they will meet
The Sandman there on Dreamer's Street

Sparkling stardust lights the way
To dreamland where the fairies play
On clouds so soft and snowy white
They play throughout the star filled night

The little Sandman takes their hand
To lead them through this wonderland
Filled with joyous things to see
Drifting along so peacefully

As angels watch them as they sleep
Safe within their watchful keep
Their heads are filled with magic dreams
Of starry nights and moonlight beams

So mothers hold your babies tight
And rock them gently through the night
To where the Sandman waits to greet
The sleeping babes on Dreamer's Street

What a nice poem.  I like the real lyrical rhythm.  I write like this. It seems like a lost art anymore.
I am going to read this one to my young son tonight.   Thanks,

Oh, Stephen, it is utterly delightful! I have to teach English to my sweet little grandsons, so that I can read them this wonderful "Dreamer's Street" to them.

I think it is just perfect also for me right now ...

Love,

Reading you poetry always returns me to the wonder and beauty of childhood, Stephen.
I never miss  a poem with your name on it.

A thoroughly enjoyable poem which, I am sure, will be enjoyed by all children from  two to ninety-two.

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

MyFriend~
You show me the doorway to The Cave of the Good Dreams ... I eagerly await the opportunity to read this to Delaney and Landry~

(and this beautiful book of quiet children's rhyme will be available 'soon'?
