ZEN

Lay you down and rest your head 
There are lots of days ahead 
Take not much of life's pressure 
Health for one is the greatest treasure 

Think not much of foul winds around 
For, all too soon will kiss the ground 
Lay your worries to the sky 
His hands guard you, way up high 

Sleep tight and dream sweetly 
Leave behind the things that are earthly 
Damp your thoughts in drowse of wine 
Celebrate your life, divine 

Meditate on things that are useful
Being solemn is being hopeful 
Rest your mind, let it know
That best things are yet to show
