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.
