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!
