Mommies Love

Better to sleep sleep
And dream dreams of laugh and run
Green grass and picnics without bugs
Well, maybe Ladybugs
With their polka-dot umbrellas
And rabbits, yes rabbits
With twitchy noses
And sleepy eyes
Yes love, it’s better to sleep sleep
Then Mommy held the heads of her children
Under warm water
One after one after one after one
Sang soft songs
So the pain of life would go away
And sleep to come
Better to dream dreams
Better to sleep...
