SOL: 27.3.12



Bedtime

I am soft and cosy
I wonder what I will dream tonight
I hear mooing as cows jump over the moon
I see sheep jumping one by one
I want to get in bed with my mummy
I am soft and cosy

I pretend that I am zooming to see my nana and koko
I feel love engulf me as they snuggle me close
I touch the silver clouds of dreams
I worry for nothing because I am loved
I cry because I want to get in my mummy's bed
I am soft and cosy

I understand that I must sleep
I say, "mama, mama, mama"
I dream of screeching up to McDonald's golden arches
I try a six pack of nuggets
I hope that one day I can get a sundae without regret
I am soft and cosy

Our grandson's new bed arrived today all the way from America.  We live in New Zealand.
Our daughter is just at this moment putting him to bed in his new car bed.  Putting him to bed is never an easy thing to do but today he's graduated from a cot to a car.  We were able to Skype him and chat about his new bed.

    That's the way to go to bed in style! Your poem captures the push and pull of getting to sleep. Many sweet dreams ahead!

      Have yet to ask my daughter how he slept in his new bed. I'll have to wait until tonight.

    Wow is a great word to describe the bed. I'm about to Skype him to find out how he slept.
