Just go to bed

 So I can remember 

what a sweet, perfect, precious cherub you are 

 when you're unconscious 

of the fact that I am making myself 

 a sandwich 

I will not cut the crusts off 

 I will not give you all the best parts 

of me 

 subsisting on crusts

Just go to bed 

 on time 

I need my hour 

 Before my bedtime 

by myself 

 tomorrow will be a new day 

and you will have a new parent 

 Good as new

one who remembers who they are 

 without kids

That will be new

 and you 

will be better for it
