PLEASE LET ME SLEEP


It’s after dinner
Time has taken it’s toll
My eye lids are heavy
My stomach satisfied
The nectars of the Gods
I was fed.

Too tired to see
Just lay me down
Allow me to drift
Into heavenly sleep
The angels are waiting
Patiently just for me.

Upon my arrival
Soft humming melodies
They will whisper on to me
My eyelids are heavy
Please let me sleep.

What a cute kid, you can sing this to her when she wakes up, or when she needs to go back to sleep, or whatever kids do. Nice write.

Thanks,
Dan

Why is it that holding a new born child get all the agression out and a flood of protecting feelings coming to take its place?
With Please Let Me Slep just you don't only give a tribute to the new born but also to everyone out there that make themselves a living cocoon around the child.
Well done!!!
Georg
