Is tonight the night?
Will you sleep all the way through?
Maybe tomorrow

Doing the same thing
Over and over again
Is insanity

Swinging by yourself
Grown up like the other kids
Your face shows pure joy

Your sleep dominates
My thinking and my doing
My insanity

I could stare at you
For all the hours of the night
When you are asleep

Friday night pizza
Our family tradition
You join in now too

I’m watching the clock
Two minutes feels like two hours
Listening to you cry
