Drifting Off To Sleep

Lying in bed, I close my eyes, Unable to drift off to sleep; I rise to open the windows, Allowing the cool gentle breeze to fill the room. I lye back down and my mind rushes. I listen to the night sounds Soothing my restless mind. I watch the trees dancing in the wind Like shadows in the sky, Mesmerizing my mind. I hear the chimes play their medleys As they sway in the wind, Relaxing my mind. I smell the night rain As it gently falls with its pitter patter, Refreshing my mind. I softly whisper, “Thank you Father, I love you” As I finally drift off to sleep.
