Sleep Tight
Bringing me comfort when I most need it
Soft and warm, shielding me from a world so cold
My eternal friends, always there
You never judge, you never scold
No matter how bad I got
Even when I shouted and screamed
You were there when I calmed down
To see me off to a safe sleep
When darkness fell night after night
You were by my side to keep nightmares at bay
Even now, I know I can look to you
on fearful nights when they won't go away
So sleep tight, my dear friends
Know that because of you
No matter how dark the night
I will too
