Sleep-Time Lullaby Lay down your head and go to sleep You’ll dream of moats and castle’s keep As mermaids sing from water's deep From waves they peep; from waves they peep While stars shine down from darkened skies They comfort those with tired cries Then duck and smile as comets fly They whistle by; they whistle by It’s time to close your weary eyes The day is done until sunrise Each morning brings a new surprise Away night flies; away night flies So listen to the nighttime sing The joyful tune that crickets bring While fire flies create lighted strings From dreams they spring; from dreams they spring Lay down your head and go to sleep You’ll dream of laughing elves that leap And dance ‘til morning sunlight creeps To kiss your cheek; to kiss your cheek - Alison |

Donna, How nice to see you among us again. I remember hoot_owl_m (not sure if that is how her name is here -- you know, Ruth) did one a few years ago. I think I tried one then when I was "aziza". I love writing them - give it a shot. It's fun. Love you, A - Linda, How you make me smile. I'd love to play and do the sympacto with you (did that sound suggestive?  ) I love that you have read this as you have. I keep coming back to you and that naughty little fairy too.Love you both, A |

Brought back memories of when I used to sing my daughter to sleep. If only I had read this before. Beautifully captured by all means. |
