This is a nice poem written of a child and his mother. The fact that he can't sleep is intriguing but the reasons are also provided. The light is too bright and the sound is too high. The poetry reminds us of our own childhood when we complained about things to our mothers. Mothers are careful to be sensitive to a child's wants. This poetry shows us this sensitivity and concern of a mother. She asks him to count sheep. And dreams will come back to him. The poetry is written with craft and much care. It is a documentary or account of a child and his mother's love for him.
