God’s angels sprinkle stardust sight unseen By grownup eyes, dispelling all dark’s fear Babes sleep in perfect innocence serene Without a single care to cause a tear. The fairies dance about in little heads Creating magic all throughout the night As tiny tots are sleeping in their beds And cuddling with their teddy bears so tight. The moonbeams dance and constellations sing A soothing lullaby as elves slide down A candy rainbow, colors glittering; Enchanted dreamland chases every frown. So close your eyes and hush my precious one The fun begins again at setting sun. |

Oh! This is beautiful... regards, sudhir In any moment of decision, The best thing you can do is the right thing, The next-best thing is the wrong thing, And the worst thing you can do is nothing. - Theodore Roosevelt |

Hi D~ Ah yes, if only all babies could sleep peacefully through the night, there would be a lot less stressed out people in the world! Don't you love to see a little baby yawn? And hear the little noises when they drink their bottles? Anyway, I liked your poem. best regards, bboog |

Denise~ Sounds like an endearing lullaby for sure .... 'A soothing lullaby as elves slide down A candy rainbow, colors glittering; Enchanted dreamland chases every frown.' Sweetly sung. ~*Marge*~ |

This was fabulous Denise. Very discriptive and excellently written (like it would be done any other way by you.. ) When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face... William Butler Yeats |

Thank you, Melissa, Sudhir, Bob (that would be great, wishful thinking at best!), Janet Marie, Marge, Martie, Sue, Rebecca (yes, it went extremely well! He went to sleep at 6:30 p.m. and slept 'til 6:30 a.m. and he wasn't fussy at all with his teething all day either!), Romantic Heart, Danny and Balladeer (they do make my heart smile!) for reading and for your kind replies!
