Sleep tight

If, I sing to you a little,
will you hug me, late at night?
Or, perhaps a dance, or Jig, my dove,
might just put on  the  light?
It's not ,that I'm afraid my self,
of Dragons, Ghosts or Elves;
But, my little baby brother,
cries and cuddles me, himself.
I'm very big and grown you know,
I'm nearly five next year;
But, if you don't put a light on, I
might just shed a tear.
My mum and dad, are sleeping now
and always, in the night,
there is this growl and snorting
sound ,that gives us, such a fright;
So please, I promise to be good,
and always say my prayers,
Can little Joe and me my dove,
come down, those creaky stairs?
We'll just creep down and stay a while;
And, maybe have some pears,
and then creep back, with teddy bear,
and  sleep, like  millionaires.

    This poem made me think how innocent a child can be, and about their fears. Excellent work with this poem, it made me relax, and smile.

    i have to agree that this is a cute poem...but please dont be offended when i say this... towards the end of the poem it seems as u lost ur thoughts and started forcing rhymes... the purpose of the poem is lost in this.. keeps losing topic.. sorry not trying to be negative.. just constructive criticism is all!! cute hun but i got lost and couldnt find what this was supposed to be about.. starts off as one thing and goes into different ones.
