The moment in your life
when you are glad you cannot sleep at night.
When your child awakes to a bad dream
and you go to comfort him.
He says: Mommy please don’t go to sleep.
You ask: Why?
He replies: Because when you’re awake
the bad dreams stay away…
Now if you do not believe in super powers or magic,
then go to sleep.
I found out that when I sleep he dreams and wakes,
when I stay awake, he dreams soundly.
That is the moment of my life,
when I am happy I cannot sleep at night.
