The Magic of Sleep

Sleep makes us happier, healthier and sexier Though millions of Americans suffer without. 24 –7 = TV, sports, video games and deadlines Make us wonder what life is about. Cigarettes, booze, coffee and the new born Can all rob you of precious sleep. Being broken hearted over someone lost As you lie without them and weep. Multitudes pop the little green butterfly Or some other pill to obtain precious rest. Making time for prayer, love, laughter and song Improve our sleep to endure God’s test . While sleeping we dream of now and here after The good, the bad and who we wish not to be. Passing our burdens to the hands of God Who fashioned all we hear, breath and see. The magic of sleep sustains the heart beats of life Our ability to reason, overcome and succeed. Without its presence, we wither on the vine Victims of exhaustion, worry and greed. By Tom Zart
