Just when I was begining to lose myself completely
To the much longed for sleep
The little mechanical thing beeped.
It went on
And on...
Till I punched it somewhere
To hear a voice thats familiar.

It diffused energy
Excited
Childish

Minutes later
It was a
Different
Similar

It beeped again
The bell rang.
The feet moved out
The ears heard the shout.

Hugs and
Smiles
Laughter and
Squeals

Before long
I begin losing myself again
To an uninterrupted
Sleep.
