Bedtime storytelling
Dr. Suess
The Foot Book
[left foot, left foot, right foot, right]
her favorite
even at only
just a year old
she knew it
from the many
and she always
requested that one
marching along
[feet in the morning, feet at night]
cozied in lap
grinning and pointing
eager to turn pages
almost too quick
to keep up.
[Now I lay me down to sleep]
Winnie the Pooh
her nighttime companion
covering her
comforting her
keeping her warm
snuggled up.
[Goodnight]
Tuck in the edges
butterfly in cocoon
[sleep tight]
snug as a bug
tickle tummy
issues sweet laughter
[don't let the bed bugs bite]
turn off the light
[sweet dreams]
head peeking
between closing
door
[I love you]
always and forever
[I pray the Lord, my soul to keep]
