It's time to snuggle in.
The whole prairie is getting ready for sleep.
And so are you.
Lie down and feel the ground beneath you firm,
Soft,
And warm.
Like a hug from the earth.
Above you,
The sky is a big,
Blue blanket.
It's gently tucking you in.
Take a deep breath.
Feel your toes relax.
Your legs grow heavy.
Your tummy rises and falls like a sleepy prairie breeze.
All around you,
The prairie is quiet.
The birds are wrestling in their nests.
The deer are curled up underneath a tree.
Even the flowers have closed their eyes.
The earth says,
You've done enough today.
The wind whispers,
You are safe now.
The stars twinkle.
We'll stay with you while you dream.
You are wrapped in the great prairie snuggle.
Sky above,
Earth below.
Peace all around.
You are so loved.
So still.
So ready to rest.
Close your eyes,
Little one.
The prairie is holding you.
Just let go and sleep.
