The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late. ~Charles Caleb Colton
Rest Easy My Child
Rest easy my child, surrender to sleep
The sun has now set, the day is at peace
With brow on the pillow,and tucked into bed
Follow the magic, through golden dream's thread
Leave behind your cares of the day
Create a new world, to wisk you away
Slide down that rainbow, swim with a whale
Make friends with a lion, and ride on its tail
Fly thru the heavens without any wings
And let your heart dance with flowers that sing
See colors at random, without any rules
With waterfalls purple, and sand that is blue
A sunrise will great you, to start off your day
As you jump from the moonbeam that sailed you away
Hold tight to that magic you found in the night
Let it shine thru your eyes...See the world pure and bright
I LOVE YOU MY DEAR DAUGHTER!!

My eyes are welling up and memories of my own three when small are flooding my head and heart. This is gorgeous Anita ...you're costing me a fortune in tissues !

What a Tale is told in this delightful story of Didge the wayward little Roo.
Catch up with him as he turns the Billabong from a Dull everyday water hole, to a lively, fun place, through many adventures and conquests.
