Nursery Insomnia

Goodnight, goodnight.

While you sleep ever so tight,

I’ll be here

Instead I’ll hold you so close

and rock you so sweetly

back

and

forth

do you ever miss those moments

where you could sleep soundly before?

    I won’t stop for life or death

    I’ll keep going

    going

    I know

    the good and sad

    the ugly and bad

    the boiling mad
