To mom.

The next time you are lying there

Waiting for your sleep

Imagine that you've never slept

Only counted sheep

I doubtlessly would dread that moment

Putting out the light

And the lack of being there

Throughout the whole night

--

But I am never scared

It's really quite okay

It's often even peaceful

Waiting in the bay

--

Perhaps it is like that

When you've left us sad

Don't be scared, I love you

I hope it's not that bad.
