her mother would pull the curtans and wisper softly
"Wake up sleepy head."
But the 7-year-old girl would groan and refuse to wake.

When she was sick, her mother would come to take her temperature
"Wake up sleepy head."
But she would groan and go back to sleep.

When she was a teenager and didn't hear her alarm, her mother wouldwake her up
"Wake up sleepy head."
but the tired girl would go back to sleep.

so it went for years, untill her mother got sick with cancer. One night,she got terribly sick.An had to be moved to the hospital.

Her dauter gave her a visit, but she was asleep.
"Wake up sleepy head."
But the woman groaned and would'nt wake.
