At Bedtime
A book
the longest one
on the shelf
is finally done
finally done
You always ask
for just one more
just one more
just one more
A nod
and your head
falls to the bed
as your breath slows down
breath slows down
You always breathe
so slow and deep
slow and deep
slow and deep
A world
far away
is where you'll go
safe and warm,
safe and warm
Always at peace
when you sleep
when you sleep
sleep, sleep...
