Sleep Well Mama
Mama, why is it that you can't sleep well?
Do you have insomnia coming on?
What's keeping you up even though you're tired?
Your husband who watches television half the day,
Your adult child who is packing up and moving away,
Your young hyperactive child who likes to play, play, play,
The ever present clutter all throughout the house,
You set up a trap but it has not yet caught that mouse...
Mama, give to God all your cares
I wish you sweet dreams and no nightmares
Sleep well Mama, sleep well soon...
