I walked all night
Paced the kitchen
Spoke softly
Sang and even told stories
Still, I kept walking
Tried it all again
And again
To no avail
Could not get you to sleep
I washed your face
Changed your diaper
Picked you up
After two steps you were out
Sometimes it amazes me what puts you to sleep
Memoirs of a tried dad
Day #175 SJD
