1. Moon’s Lullaby
This poem describes the moon singing a lullaby to the world, creating a serene and comforting atmosphere for children at bedtime.
As the moon sings in the sky,
Stars twinkle, up so high,
Gentle lullaby, bye and bye,
Under its watchful eye, we lie.
Softly, the night whispers sweet,
In the moon’s light, dreams meet,
Stars, a twinkling fleet,
Moon’s lullaby, soft and neat.
Close your eyes, drift to sleep,
In the stars’ care, you’ll keep,
Dreams gentle, never steep,
Moon’s lullaby, in slumber deep.

All aboard the Dreamland Express,
Through the night, no stress,

On a journey, we confess.
Chugging through starry tracks,
Leaving behind the day’s stacks,
In sleep, nothing lacks,
Dreamland Express, relax.
Close your eyes, take a ride,
In dreams, you’ll glide,
On this train, abide,
In dreamland, we’ll hide.

Goodnight, moon, so bright,
Goodnight, stars, light of night,
In your glow, everything’s right,
Sleep now, till morning light.
Goodnight, trees, standing tall,
Goodnight, flowers, petals fall,
In your rest, heed the call,
Dreamland’s peace, covers all.
Goodnight, my little star,
Dream sweet, near or far,
In your dreams, no bar,
Sleep tight, as you are.

Listen to the whispers of the night,
Soft and gentle, out of sight,
In their sound, everything’s alright,
Night’s whispers, a delight.
Rustling leaves, a soothing song,
Night’s whispers, never wrong,
In their tune, you belong,
Whispers of night, where dreams throng.
Close your eyes, hear them say,
“Sweet dreams, till break of day,”
In their sound, drift away,
Night’s whispers, here to stay.
5. The Sleepy Moon
Depicting the moon as a sleepy guardian, this poem creates a comforting and protective bedtime scene.
The sleepy moon, up so high,
Yawns wide, in the night sky,
Watching over, as we lie,
Sleepy moon, our nightly ally.
In its light, soft and dim,
Dreams begin, on a whim,
Sleepy moon, our nightly hymn,
Guarding dreams, at the brim.
So let’s join the moon, and rest,
In our beds, we’re blessed,
Sleepy moon, knows best,
Under its watch, in nest.
6. Starlit Canopy

Under a starlit canopy, we rest,
Night’s blanket, we’re its guest,
In starlight, dreams are dressed,
Starlit canopy, our nightly nest.
Each star, a guardian of sleep,
In their light, dreams we keep,
Under stars, no need to peep,
Starlit canopy, a leap.
Close your eyes, under the stars,
In dreams, you’ll travel far,
Under night’s protective bars,
Starlit canopy, our avatar.

Dream Weaver’s tales, you’ll win,
His magic, a sleep’s kin.

Climb aboard your pillow ship,
On a dreamy, nighttime trip,
Through the stars, we’ll slip,

Sailing through the clouds so high,

In dreams, be bold,
Pillow ship, stories untold,
In its voyage, be enrolled.

In your embrace, we’re free,
Goodnight, let it be.
Now it’s time, to close our eyes,
Under the night sky’s guise,
Goodnight, world, as we lie,
In dreams, we’ll fly high.
