Who singeth like the Meadowlark Kiri's
Favorite Bedtime Story:
Full of joy and Merriment
"Dream Boat"
And danceth on the Sward by
Emily George
With lively, graceful Step ?
When
I am nicely tucked in bed and have been kissed good night,
Who lieth in the Sunlight, I'm
ready to go traveling when Mom turns out the light.
Hair of sparkling Gold I
close my eye so gently. I smile a secret smile.
Streaming out around her I
know my bed will be a boat in just a little while.
Like treasure told of Olde ?
I feel the soft waves rocking as my boat begins to glide
along
a silver river while I am safe inside.
Whose laughter in the Morningtide I
hear the happy music of a frog and cricket band while
Brings smiles to every face? my
boat drifts very slowly to the shores of Magic Land.
Mischievous little Prankster The
flowers nod a welcome and there's perfume on the breeze
But malice not a trace. as
a forest spreads before me full of "pick your own toy" trees.
I
stand upon my tiptoes to choose a rippling kite. Then suddenly
Whose downy cheek at Midnight it
carries me into the starry night!
Flushed by her warm breath Across
the golden glowing moon, past Jupiter and Mars,
Is gazed upon by Angels I
sail along the Milky Way and dart among the stars.
As they guard her gentle rest ? It's
such a lovely feeling to fly high in the sky, I hardly even
notice
that the night is slipping by.
Tis Mama's sweetest little Part - But
soon the sky turns rosy as night begins to fade and I waske
Merry Kiri, Merry Kiri as
morning sunbeams slip past my window shade.
The darlin' of my Heart ! My
bed's my private dream boat in which I sail away to
places I can never find again when
it is day.
"Growing
up fast, isn't she?"
