If I had a Child
If I had a child,
I would stroke her head for a while
As she drifts into a trance of sleep,
Counting one-by-one the sheep
Found in her imagination,
She can live within her creation
When she is finally as quiet as a mouse,
I will turn out all the lights in the house
And creep back into my own room
To join my soon-to-be-groom
We will have ourselves adjoined
Until we hear little footsteps, sounding like a coin
Pattering down the hall
Until we see her face, cutest of them all
Say, "I had a nightmare"
I'll reply, "Come here and bring your teddy bear"
If I had a child,
I would stroke her head for a while
As she drifts into a trance of sleep,
Counting one-by-one the sheep
I will finally rest back my head,
Thinking, oh how nice it is when this whole thing is read.
