Lay down, my child, in your tiny bed and sleep soundly tonight. Take your favourite bear under your arm, hold him close, close your tired eyes and drift sweetly away to dance the sandman’s dance in the Kingdom of Nod.
And sleep easily tonight. Dream not of ghouls and beastly things. I will pray for protection to surround that delicate head of yours, for angels to keep the dark at bay, to keep you from fearing the darkest corners of your room. The corners where there is nothing to fear, sweetheart; nothing. It is only your mind playing tricks that tells you so and in time you will learn to tame it.
Sleep well tonight. Fall deep from this world, rest up for tomorrow, a big day. Let the night take the bags of tiredness away from you and replace them with energy renewed; let the night refresh your soul and return you to us as a sprightly infant ready for school.
Sleep happily tonight, dream of your happiest place, adventure with your toys in the magical realm beneath your sheets and beyond the end of your bed where you rule as only a child can. Awake with memories and stories to share.
And if you should not, run to us and shelter in our arms and our warmth. Let us protect you from harm, together we can chase the demons away. Far away we shall send them and return you to that happy dream.
Goodnight. Sleep tight. Sweet dreams.
