Good night

Every night he fights
the will to fall asleep
the thought of missing out
on just about everything
the extra hug
the extra kiss
but mom I need a drink
night after night
the same type of dance
even though we pretend to be mad
deep down inside
we love the extra little time
especially the I love you mom and dad
so sweet dream's my little love
for they await you

Yup, it's true to the core. We all get it and somehow deal with it just as our parents did and our kids will after us.
I like it

Another great one. It so reminded me just this evening putting my little ones to bed. Super job here. Your emotion for your family comes through loud and clear.
