Now Go To Sleep, My Little One Poem by Terry Donovan

The sun's gone down, the day is done,
Now go to sleep, my little one.


All good things must end a while,
The breath of sleep must hide your smile.
Your sparkling eyes must close and rest,
The land of dreams must be your guest.

The sun, while shining bright all day,
Must to the silver moon give way
And have his beauty sleep as well,
And in the morning you will tell

He's bright and chirpy in the sky,
A new-found twinkle in his eye,
All set to brighten up the day
And keep those nasty clouds at bay.

And you will, too, when morning's here,
Be full of bubbles, full of cheer,
Refreshed and walking with a spring,
You'll want to laugh and play and sing.

Now I must tip-toe from your side
And let the angels be your guide.
They heard you whisper your late prayer
And now you're safely in their care.

We've had some laughs, we've had some fun,
Now go to sleep, my little one.
