Peace

Mind is full and time 
is passing so fast
Will this chaos in our world
 ever pass
You try to sleep and shut 
things out
But in reality it's one big trap
You start to finally settle 
and quiet down
One fleeing thought bounces
back from the ground
The wheel starts turning 
as you retry to settle down 
Your normal smiling self
is now more than a frown
You say your prayers in faith 
to GOD above 
He showers you down
with so much warmth and love 
You have a change in feeling
that you can't explain 
You just know in your heart 
and you want it to remain 
You lay your head to rest in
peace another round
Eyes become heavy, you
hear no sound
Your mind is at ease as you 
feel so content and whole
You know that the man
upstairs is in TOTAL CONTROL
You give your burdens and 
weary self to him no doubt
In return you finally settle
down with eyes closed you
are out
