The War with the Sandman
I stand by and watch your never-ending battle with him
your fight to stay awake
I watch your eyes blinking slowly
your breathing getting deep
You drift quietly off in to a peaceful slumber
once again a loser in this fight
The Sandman has robbed you of your life
a crown of victory he now wears
You are unaware-asleep in defeat.
Don't all children fight falling to sleep. My youngest guy was a champion at it. We use to call him "Elmo Die Hard". You captured it perfectly.
