Close your eyes, my little friend,
And let sweet sleep take hold again.
Dream of castles and magic things,
And wake up to the sound of birds that sing.

When you count your sheep and drift away,
You'll wake up to a brand new day.
And if you're lucky, you might see
A prince or princess come to marry thee.

Then it's time to put on your dancing shoes,
And move to the rhythm, no time to lose.
Sing out loud and let your voice be heard,
For there's no greater joy than a happy word.

So sleep and dream, my little one,
And when you wake up, let's have some fun.
For life is but a fleeting chance,
To dance and sing and laugh and dance.

Reflections

1. What are some of the things you dream about when you go to sleep?
2. Do you like to sing or dance? What kind of music do you enjoy?
3. What do you think it would be like to marry a prince or princess?
4. How does waking up to the sound of birds singing make you feel?
5. What is your favorite magical creature that you would want to meet in an enchanted forest?
