The Sleepy Garden

In the garden, as night draws near,
Flowers nod their heads, my dear.
Daisies close their eyes so tight,
Roses whisper soft “goodnight.”

Bees have settled in their hive,
Butterflies no longer dive.
Ladybugs curl up on leaves,
Lulled by the evening breeze.

Crickets chirp a quiet song,
Telling us that night’s not long.
Fireflies dance their last light show,
Before to bed they slowly go.

The old oak tree stands guard so tall,
Watching over creatures small.
Now it’s time for you to sleep,
In dreams, this garden you can keep.

Goodnight, sweet child, close your eyes,
Tomorrow brings new butterflies.
