I have a secret, but please don't tell
for normal beds are all very well
but mine goes to places in my dreams
on sky blue oceans and deep green seas.
It waits until I'm fast asleep
then whisks me off before I can peep
to special coves and golden sands
where it sweeps me in and softly lands.
Then all night long I'll run and play
till it's time to go, then my bed will say
come snuggle now and rest your head
for to sail you must sleep in your special bed.

I like the idea of a bed as a boat sailing into the land of dreams:-) Very sweet!
Cute and interesting.
I liked the ending lines very much. :)
I admire people with your creativity and talent. I must have been hiding behind a door when those were passed out. Good job.
great lyrical rhymes that would whisk any child into a land of sweet dreams :)
Just so lovely in every way. Would make even the die-hards want to go to bed. Bravo!
What a lovely bed to dream in... :)
I love 'sky blue oceans and deep green seas'... where did you get the bed? I'd like one too please.

magic comes when she is fast sleep,
what a fantastic tale.

Wonderful words to coax little ones to bed.

This reminds me of many of my favourite stories from childhood. The special coves and golden sands are such great images. A story dreams are made of!
Thank you everso much Trisha and Selma x :o)
OH! I LOVE this! I remember pretending that my bed was a boat. It's how I used to fall asleep. It was one of my favorite day dreams that helped me drift into night dreams. How sweet. :)
This is just wonderful, Deborah! It reminds me of Robert Louis Stevenson...I so loved 'The Land of Counterpane' when I heard it as a child in Ireland that it has stayed in my heart. Well done....:)
Thank you so much for your lovely comments Elizabeth and Lynette x :o)
If only all dreams were as good as this!
Deborah,
This is lovely. The imagery takes me along on that special bed, and I can't imagine a child who would not be enchanted with this poem. Beautiful work.
Namaste..........cj
