sleep

goodnight moon.
goodnight world.
goodnight people.
goodnight girl.
turn off the light.
and shut your eyes.
the day is done.
no need to cry.
it's over now.
tomorrow is new.
and when you wake up
you'll still be you.
but stronger than yesterday
because you lived through it
and have learned the hard way.
your experience makes you mature.
and soon you won't be a little girl.
and as you become a woman, now,
wish on stars.
re-write your vows.
declare new goals.
and get ahead.
there's nothing stopping you.
just rest your head.
it's time for bed.
