Goodnight Love

You can close your eyes now, love
It's okay to fall asleep
There's no monster in your closet
You can safely count your sheep

I'll be right here to protect you
Shooing nightmares with a broom
I'll make sure that nothing haunts you
As I stand guard in your room

I'll place a light beside your bed
So you can see I'm by your side
Nothing bad will ever hurt you
Close your eyes now, love.  Goodnight.

This is very touching. A comforting poem for a child, they seem to all be scared of the dark. One has to wonder why.

[R.S. Wilder]

The reassurance a child needs, ahhh:)

This is such a loving poem. A mother's love for her child compares with nothing.
Aiden is a lovely name...
As is this poem.

This poem gave me such a warm feeling. It has a glow that can only come from the love of a mother. It reminds me of when I thought the shadow of a huge tree was the shadow of a witch flying by my room at night.
