A Seat Upon My Lap©

By Felina Silver Robinson

When you crawled upon my lap last night

And snuggled nice and tight

I think you must have suffered a fright earlier that night

For some time has passed

Since you last

Sat upon my lap late a night

Now I find myself worrying about what keeps you awake when everyone else lays fast asleep

I wonder if your eyes will again be able to close without fright following behind you

I send you back to your big dark room

And offer a light to keep you company

You show your strength with and add a no

And off to sleep you go once more

Now I sit and rest my head tilting back in the chair in the corner of your darkened room

With the only light from the moonlit sky

Without a care in the world

You were down for the night

And now I know there’s no longer a need to worry

You won’t need to return

To the seat upon my lap

Until next you’re afraid of what goes bump in the night
