I know it’s tempting to run
At the pace of adults
Way past midnight
Especially after getting tricked
With Santa
And other eves
That a kid’s allowed to lose sleep
But you should stay on course
Stick to a routine
That allows you to be a kid
Afforded of a comfortable rest
Letting you drift to uninterrupted dreams
Sanguinely, it will lead you
To a platform to fulfill them
Grow tall enough to reach
Understand that there is the right time to go for it
But for now
What is required
No matter how your mind
Seems to still be running wild
And wired,
For now, in reprise
With every other night
For now, get to your sweet spot and sleep
