This Nights Sleep

This night brings many things
The stuff of sweetest dreams
Of bright sunlight and flowers
During our sleeping hours

With pictures blue and gold
Skies seem to explode
With all the colors of the Rainbow
And all things to you foretold

This night brings on many things
Messages from afar
And behind your minds eyes
Learning pictures given are

Pictures of family and friends
Some old and some new
Who at times wish they'd said
In dreams they say to you

This night brings on many things
And as you watch and listen
Your dreams they come alive
They sparkle and they glisten

Then you become the dream
And speak what's in your heart
You give to those you see
Within your dream impart

This night brings on many things
Things you'd wished you'd said
In dreams they are relayed
Even while you rest

And when you awake in mornings light
You now know what's to be done
How to plan your day
In dreams your plans begun

So take your dreams to heart
As they not only tell
What you need to hear
But what to say as well
