Short poems for kids: The Sleepy Time Express

All aboard the Sleepy Time Express,
Where dreams await, oh, what a guess!
The conductor’s a bear with a hat so tall,
He’ll guide you to dreamland, one and all.

The train is made of moonbeams bright,
And starry wheels that shimmer with light.
It chugs along with a soft, gentle sound,
To the coziest dreamland that can be found.

The carriages are comfy, with pillows galore,
Soft as clouds, you’ll want nothing more.
Blankets of stardust keep you snug and warm,
As you journey through the night’s dreamy charm.

The Sleepy Time Express has no delay,
It takes you where you’d like to play.
To castles in the sky, and oceans so deep,
To adventures where dreams are yours to keep.

You’ll meet dream creatures, strange and sweet,
In candy cane forests and chocolate streets.
With a wink from the moon and a twinkle from a star,
You’ll soar through the skies, no matter how far.

But as morning light begins to gleam,
The Sleepy Time Express slows its stream.
Back to your bed, it gently rolls,
Where dreams transform into tales untold.

So snuggle up tight, my dear little one,
As the Sleepy Time Express continues its run.
Let your imagination roam and soar,
In the magical dreamland, you’ll explore once more.

With a whisper of night, the adventure begins,
On the Sleepy Time Express, where dreamers always win.
So close your eyes, my sleepy friend,
For the night’s enchanting journey has no end.
