Close your eyes little kitten of mine.

Close your eyes and let the dreams come.

You are tired and your eyelids are heavy.

You’ve had a long day and so you must rest.

I will protect you. I am your Mother.

I will give you all the strength you need.

The nightmares won’t come,

and the dreams will bring you peace,

as you lay your head to sleep.
