A Young Dreamer

As I lay you down to go to sleep,
I wonder if you count any sheep.
Do you dream about colors and shapes,
Or dinosaurs and heroes in capes?
Are there cats and dogs, or bats and frogs?
Are there zebras and wild hogs?
Or, hardy pirates who save the day?
What about a musical blue jay?
Do you dream of Mommy and Daddy?
Or the leprechauns on Saint Paddy?
Are there good princes and unicorns,
Golden finches and sharp dragon horns?
Are there witches eating candy corns?
Or cuddly bunnies who love to play?
What about white horses chewing hay?
I kiss your forehead without a peep,
As you dream or see black during sleep.
