Goodnight
by Matt Johnson
As deep night begins anew
And even the animals take to rest
Think back now to those you love
To those that know you best

Close your eyes and think good times
As your thoughts drift from sweat and mud
And fear not the Kindly Ones
For you haven’t spilled family blood

Rest your mind again in happy times
And hang on to those who love you
Give yourself to those who care
The ones who would give their lives to you

Heavy eyes lead to the Sandman’s realm
Don’t fear the Bogeyman’s bite
For though I leave you now
I love you, my friend, alas, goodnight
