Monday's Child #40 - My Magic Bed

llustration by : Ethel Mars and Maud Hunt Squire


© Lisa N ~ 4/3/2011

Drifting off to sleep
I begin my nightly jaunt
My destination you may ask
To where ever it is I want

I climb upon my magic bed
And I quickly sail away
My bed is the boat I travel on
to forever and a day

Tonight I venture across the sea
towards the summer moons
I sail past forests full of trees
on clouds like macaroons

I climb up at the rail
Hoping for a better view
Instead the dream is over
Morning sun is shining through
