Bedtime

Tuck my words behind your ears
As I kiss you goodnight

Let your thoughts seep out
as you play pillow fight
with monsters under your bed
and the ones that haunt your head

Build a bridge of sleep
to the land of your dreams
Away from the nightmares
which you wake up to

Keep a sweet smile
above the pillow
in the dwam of sleep
reveling in the comfort of quilts

When things feel wrong
let the mattress
soak all your pain
replace it with solace

Sleep
sweet one
and forget every agony
that you have felt

For this is just the beginning
