Silly you
little one
Sitting under
setting sun
Goodnight, you say
as it falls
below the trees
the dusk, it draws
See you in the morning
but between now and then
a whole different world awakens
to begin their day again
The owl watches over
from its perch so high
Groggy bear stumbles forward
to an apple tree nearby
Little mice, they scramble
coming out to play
Raccoon marches forward
its family starts their day
As you sleep soundly under
twinkling stars and wandering moon
The animals you see in pictures
eat their lunch outside your room
With bellies full and sleepy eyes
it's time they said goodnight
as they are falling fast asleep
You awake to morning's light

This is beautiful. I want the illustrated version for a bedtime story. Thank you.
J- I was under the radar. Good to feel it flowing again.
Jacqui- You want what I want! My Bug has been making me recite it over and over, a big compliment from a toddler and from you.
