Poetry: Sleep

Close your eyes now sleepy one

Today's battles have been won

Slumber calls, the angels croon

A soft and soothing restful tune

Relax your mind, unwind your day

File all your cares away

Tomorrow will dawn clear and bright

But you must get your rest tonight

Don't pace the floor and worry

There is no need to hurry

The day is done its time for sleep

Do not lie in bed and weep

You did your best, you made the grade

And now regrets begin to fade

You'll wake refreshed, alert, aglow

And once again your heart will show

Kind sleep refreshed your mind and soul

Dreams of glory were its goal

So close your eyes and say a prayer

And soon your dreams will take you there

    A land wherewith sounds of the young and old do weep.

    clouds billowing drifting

    waterfalls cascading down

    snow softly hitting ground

    raindrops glistening making not a sound
