A POEM FOR MOMS AND DADS


               
           Now I lay me down to sleep,    
           I pray my sanity to keep.    
           For if some peace I do not find,    
           I'm pretty sure I'll lose my mind.    
                
           I pray I find a little quiet    
           Far from the daily family riot    
           May I lie back -- not have to think    
           about what they're stuffing down the sink,    
           or who they're with, or where they're at    
           and what they're doing to the cat.    
                
           I pray for time all to myself    
           (did something just fall off a shelf?)    
                
           To cuddle in my nice, soft bed    
           (Oh no, another goldfish -- dead!)    
                
           Some silent moments for goodness sake    
           (Did I just hear a window break?)    
                
           And that I need not cook or clean--    
           (well sure, I've got the right to dream)    
                
           Yes now I lay me down to sleep,    
           I pray my wits about me keep,    
           But as I look around I know--    
           I must have lost them long ago!
