Eyes Awake All the Night

We all love a good night's sleep in the morning feeling much better when we don't sleep feel frustration thinking of tomorrow follow the letter The next day the lack of sleep catches you up feeling very tired but eventually human strength returns bringing to mind being fully wired How does one get through the night? with eyes wide open in a stare mind says I need sleep but can't it's worse than dream about a bear Even dreams are not much help in the morn, it's all forgotten for they never make much sense no matter the times how often Eyes awake all the night during the day you want to sleep these thoughts only bring it back pray for a sleep so very deep!

I succumbed to the pressure. I take a pill. Hopefully you can get some sleep, Gordon. Melatonin seems to be a safe effectual way to get some sleep. I like the poem:)
