Sleep & Co.
The faintly glowing sun sparked a new morning
And awakening in the gentle breeze
The little boy picks himself up
To the sounds of birdsong from the trees
Rubbing sleep from his weary eyes
And fixing a grin on his face
He shows no anxiety
No, not a trace
Oh how can you wake
Like a brand new day
When you’ve just had a bad dream?
Oh show me the way
Oh how can you wake
Like a brand new day
When dreams curse your sleep?
Oh please, please show me the way
At night you hear the roaring
Of the bi-planes overhead
The ferryman ships you off
To places far from your bed
Yawning with excessive fatigue
The boy lies down on his bed
And closes his eyes with gladness
To allow dreams to flood his head
Oh how can you sleep
Like a dormant day
Knowing of your bad dreams?
Oh show me the way
Oh how can you sleep
When “The Tempest” play
Becomes an inner reality?
Oh please show me, show me the way

Love Tinka
children. and that is to quickly forget things. Most
times childrens minds flit from ont thing to another
with lightning speed , so they don't dwell on matters
like we adults do.;-)
Well done!
