As I lay down,
And try to sleep,
Dreams don't come,
I start to weep.
I'm not used to this,
This...sleeplessness.
What's wrong with me?
Where's my bliss?
Then I realize the problem,
So I lift my head.
I sit myself up,
Straighten my legs.
Get out of my bed,
Go down to the den,
Where my mom sits,
With my daddy Ben.
"I love you", I say,
In my childish voice.
"Goodnight and sleep well!"
Inside I rejoice.
I cross the room,
And give each a hug,
Add on a kiss,
Get a drink from dad's mug.
And back to my room,
Where I drift off to sleep.
I solved my problem,
No more counting sheep.
It's alittle childish and dumb, I know, but I kinda like it 'casue that's how I was before. I couldn't sleep w/o givin' my mommy and stepdaddy a hug and kiss!
