"A Bedtime Story"
Copyright 2002.Britton Willits.
(I wrote this for my nephew who is afraid of the dark)

Shake the covers from my head
Dreams of monsters dreams of dread
Roll me over once or twice
Pray I make it through the night
Hold my breath there's something there
Something creeping up the stairs
I cannot move but to shake with fear
Trapped so deep inside of here

Got to get out of here
I've never loved the sun so dear

If I move I'm dead for sure
Just lie still remain secure
I'd never make it to the door
For I'd certainly be gored
It would eat me whole feet first
Making me witness to the worst
I hope the daylight's coming soon
I don't find solace in the moon

Got to get out of here
I've never loved the sun so dear

If I fall asleep I may
Not wake up to seize the day
If I battle aliens
Who attack for no reason
If I live through great peril
Will I taint the outside world
Ask the watchers to keep me safe
And drive the demons far away

Got to get out of here
I've never loved the sun so dear
