A Good Night Sleep By Kenny Davis

A Good Night Sleep by Kenny Davis There have been many nights I have laid there awake The late night toss and turns are becoming more than I can take The endless tossing and turning with very little success Only getting a minute or two of sleep, maybe less Many sleepless nights, wondering if something is wrong Seems like those nights drag on way too long Lord, when is it going to be my time of rest? When will I be able to abandon my sleepless distress? Forced to keep my eyes open because of the midnight frights All of them due to these many sleepless nights My sleeplessness lasts from hours to a week Lord, will you come end my sleepless streak? Then as soon as I realized, in a bright flash I seemed to be floating in a glorious dream at last Wait! Look there! In the midst of all the light A holy man standing there in clothes so bright He welcomed me into his arms and whispered,”Well done.” “Now lay your head and rest my son.” As he comforted me with a gentle smile on his face He covered me with a blanket of love with just a touch of his grace After many endless nights ending in sorrow and weep He finally blessed me with a well deserved good night sleep © March 2010 k.davis
