Selfish Suffering

The moment before, a kid’s not feeling well, tummy troubles, always after everyone’s gone to bed,

Suddenly the night’s thrown asunder, what to do?!

Selfish suffering in-sews for me, silly jeff,

Worried about my own sleep slipping away, rather than concern for my kid (who by the way seems mostly fine),

And then in an instant, a shift, and the selfish suffering seems to melt away, realizing this is my most important job, helping my kid,

silly jeff, exactly where I should be, exactly where I should be.
