How Can I Rest

How can I rest It’s now well past one And the baby seems So far from done Crying the night away I wish I could just Get some well earned rest Please shut up Oh god what a test Crying the night away If I live till you are eighty I’ll always recall When you were a baby Still cute and quite small And… Crying my nights away

My son was an absolute joy and we never had the crying during the night.I can only sympathise with other parents that have to put up with it night after night. Well written I really enjoyed reading this. Jan x
