Go to sleep
Go to sleep
My dear one
All is good
Don’t be scared
Lay your head to rest

Your pillow is ready
For your head to lay
To regain energy
And start a new day

Go to sleep
Go to sleep
My dear child
Before you know
Morning Comes again
The sun will shine
The moon will leave
For a new day to come

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem on September 16, 2010. I was thinking about the time when I was babysitting my little cousin but she would not go to sleep. She was worried because her mom and dad weren’t home yet. I kept saying everything is okay. I sung her a small lullaby and it calmed her down and the poem is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy my poem.
