It's a scary thing, watching your child breathe during the night and praying they'll be okay. Not quite the same thing, but one of my sons had horrible asthma when he was little. Had us running to the hospital so many times that the hospital began to be normal for him. As a parent, I always wished I could take the illness from him and deal with it myself.

I well know the feeling of them taking up all the space and hogging the pillow...but you just don't care because you want them to be comfortable and safe. This poem really hit home for me.

I especially love the phrase, "Feeding you sugar and love" Though, you say it twice and the second time it doesn't seem to fit. Versus the repeated "It's the middle of the night again" which flows perfectly.

I saw in your bio you're a non-English speaker. Thought I'd let you know that the two times you use "to", it's actually spelled "too". So, "You're too big, you're growing up" and "I'm too scared to fall asleep"

Wonderful poem!
