Through soothing rhythms and comforting imagery, story rhymes give little ones reassurance that as they sleep, they remain safe and loved. 

Tiny stars are twinkling high,
Like diamonds scattered in the sky.
A gentle breeze whispers sweet and low,
"Time for sleep, don’t you know."

A sleepy bird in our backyard tree
Sings a lullaby just for me.
The moon is watching from above
Sending down its rays of love.

Little owls with watchful eyes,
Guard the dark and starlit skies.
While the crickets softly sing,
Nighttime peace their music brings.

Garden flowers close their eyes,
As the evening breeze floats by.
Every rose and daisy fair,
Drifts to sleep without a care.

Close your eyes and rest your head,
Snuggled warm inside your bed.
Think of all the happy things
That tomorrow always brings.

Sweet dreams float on clouds of white,
Carrying you through the night.
Until the morning sun peeks through,
With a brand new day for you.

So drift away on wings of sleep,
While stars their nightly watch do keep.
In dreamland's garden you will play,
Until the dawn of a new day.

Angels watch with tender grace,
As a smile lights my face.
Through the night they hover near,
Keeping me safe, always here.
