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.
