Paul White Poet Free verse

Please

Please read me a story before I go to bed.

Please let me go to sleep with the story in my head

Please leave the light on can I have a drink.

I rub my eyes to stay awake and cause myself to blink

Please five more minutes I will be a good boy.

Please to help me sleep pass my favourite toy

Please let me sleep with you I don't like the dark at night

Please let me feel safe and then I will sleep all night
