Time for Rest

The sun has said goodbye and painted across the sky.

The birds are tucked away in their nests; it's time for everyone to rest.

The moon climbs up, a silver boat, upon the silent clouds to float.

It spills a light so soft and white to chase away the shadows of the night.

The trees are standing still, above the house and on the hill.

The sleepy flowers bow their heads while children snuggle in their beds

A thousand stars begin to peep to watch us while we're asleep.

They twinkle bright like tiny sparks, to keep us company in the dark.

The world is whispering beyond the lawn and windowsill.

Dream of wonders,

dream of play.

Until the sun brings back the day!
