Slumber

---

I am slowing fading,
Into a deep and peaceful rest.
Thinking of the dreams I’ll dream,
While lying in my bed.
But every time I get to the point,
Where my eyelids almost meet.
You always come and wake me up,
So that I may never sleep.
So please let me get my nap,
And all my forty winks.
And when I am done I will stay with you,
And we can count some sheep.
