Don't know if this is not traditional... See below:

For the man who says
He tires of his child
There are no flowers

Just a slight nit, if I may:

chocolate chip pancakes,
sliced banana syrup
bad dreams chased off

Losing the 'ing' keeps it in the present moment... This is, in point of fact, very traditiona... But, I liked this the first time I saw it... ;)
