As You Lie Down

As you lie down, let your pillow soften your fears.
As you close your eyes,
Let your prayers reach God.
Let your mind be filled with what could be,
Let your mind forget what you were taught.
As you drift off into sleep,
remember the excitement that tomorrow may bring.
As dreams take place in your mind,
take advantage with what can be.
As you awake, thank Him for bringing you to witness another day,
Show thankfulness through opportunities you are given.
And as the day goes on remember your dreams and make them a reality.
You're fully capable,
But where will you begin?
