Pillow Calls

"As night falls,
And your pillow calls

Take a survey,
Of your day

Keep the best,
Throw out the rest

Keeping those memories,
For posterity 

To recall at a later date,
When you need a bit of faith

To retrieve a happy moment,
To overcome a torment

For happiness has a power,
At any hour 

To bring one peace and joy,
For you to enjoy

If only for the night,
To make you right

For tomorrow is another day,
An the process will again play

So keep the good thoughts,
And get rid of what’s not 

For that is a complication of life,
The daily injection of strife 

To challenge us to overcome,
And for happiness to find it’s welcome
