“Time for Bed!”

“Time for Bed!”

Goodnight my baby

Sweet dreams honey

Don’t let the bedbugs bite.

Close your eyes and go to sleep

We’ll need our rest for tomorrow’s festivities.

 

I know you don’t want to

And I love when you’re with me

But everyone needs their rest, you especially.

Mum’s going to bed, too, shortly.

Please go to sleep.

 

No, please don’t raise your voice at me

Please don’t hit or smack or bite

Throw things or kick me.

I’m not trying to be your enemy.

You’re just sleep cranky.

 

I was your age once.

I remember I didn’t like bedtime either.

But it’s late dear

You need your sleep

So let’s get into bed.

 

We’ll turn on your nightlights

Get snuggled in real tight

We’ll sing your favourite lullaby as you close your eyes.

Ah, a sigh of relief as you drift off to sleep.

Slip out the room, quiet as a mouse.

 

Goodnight, my love. ❤️
