Goodnight, sleep tight,
May sweet dreams break to morning light,
I'll stay in repose as you chase the wind
And when the time comes I'll join you again
Goodnight, sleep tight,
Whenever you ask, I'm always all right
As you have your dreams, I bury mine
I'll dig them back up when I find the time
Goodnight, sleep tight,
May your eyes always stay as bright
As I choke on the scissors, invisible blades
When I lose, you don't have to come to my aid
Goodnight, sleep tight,
I'll try to protect you from their spite
You keep your eyes open wide, and I,
I will lose this fight and die
Goodnight, sleep tight,
Don't you dare give up the fight
When I pass before night is through
I hope you know how I admire you
Goodnight, sleep tight,
I know that they were always right,
I hope you go and chase your dreams
And leave me behind with my torn seams
Goodbye, don't cry
Stay there, be strong, don't ask why
I'll be okay and you'll be fine
I always knew you'd never be mine
I wrote something with rhythm...it's been a while since I've done that!

This is beautiful! I loved the rhythm!
It kind of reminded me of elements of Peter Pan. The buried dreams, chasing the wind, and practically every element of this bring to my mind quotes from the book. I love it!
See him with his books:
Tree beside the brooks,
Drinking at the root
Till the branch bear fruit.
See him with his pen:
Written line, and then,
Better thought preferred,
Deep from in the Word.
