Up late...

twas 11 pm on Sunday
and all thru my house
not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse...

Just then I decided
I would go to bed
so I put on my jammies
and laid down my sleepy head

I turned off the light
ready for sleep
I closed my eyes tight
but then heard a tiny peep

Tonight was not the night
I thought that just maybe
I'd get to sleep before midnight
But different plans had my baby

Tis now 1 in the morning
a new day is beginning
this tired mama is still waiting
for her sweet baby to start dreaming...
