Sleep, my child, sleep.
Let love be your blanket and keep you warm and safe.
Dream dreams that color your mind with coruscating joys,
abundant pleasures, everlasting happiness. You are not only
mine, but also a child of the Cosmos, and have an infinite
number of brothers and sisters, friends of all different races
from galaxies galore. You will never be alone. You will be
befriended for eternity. The speed of love is even faster
than the speed of light.
Sleep, my child, sleep.
