Night Songs
by carolynholm
Dear Poppy,
You are so cute when you talk in your sleep.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I do WHAT?????
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Talk in your sleep. You make sweet little yippy noises while you dream.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
What am I saying???
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Who knows. I’m sure you’re having an exciting dream with a lot of barking going on.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
I want to see this dream, now, while I’m awake!
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That would be fun, wouldn’t it! I think you are chasing something. Your feet twitch.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
I hope I catch it.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
You seem to be having a good time.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Do the cats talk in their sleep?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
They don’t seem to. But they do dream. Their paws twitch sometimes.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Winston makes a lot of noise in his sleep.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Winston snores. So do you.
Love, Carolyn
Mom,
I do WHAT?????
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Snore. Not all the time. But you and Winston definitely snore.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
Are we too noisy? Are you going to make me sleep in the living room?
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
No honey, it’s not bad. And I’m used to it. It’s not like you kids are keeping me awake.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
You keep us awake sometimes.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I do!
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
But not by snoring.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That’s good. How then?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
You turn on the light and read. And sometimes you get up and go into the kitchen for a snack. But you don’t get a snack for us.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
That explains why none of you pay much attention when I do that.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Mom,
We just go back to sleep.
XOXO Poppy
Dear Poppy,
And snore.
Love, Carolyn
