Sleeplessness

When the night is long and sleep won't come
My thoughts are deep about everyone.

The winding in my head is like a childs carousel
Going round and round, only stops for a spell.

Did I pay the bills? Did I lock the doors?
Have I really finished all my chores?

Who did I forget today
To tell them I love them in a special way?

Too late to make calls or visit with friends
That I seem to forget til the night ends.

My minds all a flutter with thoughts and
activity.
So full of the things I didn't have time to
achieve.

It's the time to rest in my big queen bed
That beckons to me without a word being said.

But these things in my head keep spinning
around
And the world all around me is sleeping so
sound.

Today I didn't do all the things I want
But the night calls to me to busy my thought.

I do not sleep as the moon shines bright,
But like a baby in the early morning light.

They say I am depressed for the few hours I
rest,
It is not normal, I am not at my best.

But I say unto you that with listen my way,
Sleep is but a word, and I will live with it my
way.

At peace I shall be with my thoughts and ideas,
In my own little world, for me, this is real.
