Goodnight

GOODNIGHT
My eyes are heavy, 
But my feet are steady.
My jobs are many,
But now they are stiffly.
The spirit is eager 
but the flesh is weak,
The night sleep has now grown to its peek.
‘Goodnight,’ caring sleep says,
Now I can see the stars.
‘Sweet dreams,’ the caring sleep says,
Your dear one waits for you
 in the bright night lights.
Tomorrow is another day,
A day that would open up your way.
‘So have a good rest,’ caring sleep says,
So tomorrow you can rise.
‘Goodnight, sweet dreams 
and have a goodnight rest,’ 
caring sleep says.
