"I think I see a speck of sunlight."

My bed is like a tiny ship-I can feel it start to tip.

Good dreams make me happy. That is why I take several naps everyday.


My Bed is Like a Boat

My bed is like a little boat;
  Nurse helps me in when I embark;
She girds me in my sailor’s coat
  And starts me in the dark.
  
At night, I go on board and say         
  Good night to all my friends on shore;
I shut my eyes and sail away
  And see and hear no more.
  
And sometimes things to bed I take,
  As prudent sailors have to do
Perhaps a slice of wedding-cake,
  Perhaps a toy or two.
  
All night across the dark we steer;
  But when the day returns at last,
Safe in my room, beside the pier,
  I find my vessel fast.
                           -Robert Louis Stevenson
