It's Time to Sleep

Dedicated to my grandfather.

It's time to sleep, little one.
Close your eyes and dream,
of all that you have done,
and all that you have seen.

It's time to rest, little one,
Creep into your bed.
Remember the words of your father,
of all the things he said.

It's time to slumber, little one.
Put your head on your pillow.
Close your eyes and dream,
of the Weeping Willow.

It's time to doze off, little one,
into the world of wonder,
where lands are frightening,
and dreams are blown asunder.

It's time to sleep, little one.
It's time to say goodbye.
Dream of me little one,
For I soon shall die.
