Your eyes are feeling heavy
as your mind starts to fly
nestling you inside this blanket
you are off to slumberlands goodnight
the yawn that escapes your lips
sleepy whispers in your ears
with the coming of the sandman
guiding you safely into sleeps embrace
twinkling stars high above you
the bright shining moon smiling
as you drift down drowsy hallways
into that sweetest goodnight
your breathing is coming slower
with a hint of a snore
what dreams will you have
as you pass on through the door
to the leisurely peace of sleep
that has laid you down for the night
into life's daily intermission
I pray you have a dreamy goodnight
