Sleep, Dear Abby

 Lavender, lilacs, luscious smells

Sprinkle upon the bed where the child dwells.

Little lamb

so small and meek

Close your eyes

it’s time to sleep.

Frantic, frenzied, furious play

Now fades away at the end of day.

Little lamb 

so small and meek

Close your eyes 

it’s time to sleep.

Magic, messy, mayhem stop!

Your muscles feel tired and you might just drop.

Little lamb

so small and meek

Close your eyes

it’s time to sleep.

Spinning, swirling, spirited fun

Won’t you pause now that the day is done?

Little lamb

you’re loved so much

Fall asleep

with mama’s gentle touch
