Things to do at 3am
When the little one's not well
Ways to occupy your mind
So on tiredness you don't dwell
Cover the sofa with sleeping bags
A place to play and rest
It's better than being cramped in bed
My patience that does test
Fetch a bowl of ice-cream
And sugared strawberries too
Decide against a coffee though
A buzz right now won't do
Put 'Little Bear' on tv again
Those stories are so sweet
They never fail to make her smile
Even on the third repeat
Think I'll skip the tidy up
Though the kitchen needs a hand
Don't want to disturb those upstairs
From their dream-filled land
Watch the moon begin to fade
And the stars attempt to hide
As dawn brings light and colour
But no warmth I feel inside
I see that Little Bear's been found
We're approaching half past four
All's quiet from the sofa now
Except the occasional snore
