Sleepless

Sleepless

The nights are long when I can not sleep
Hear every noise every little peep,
The phone won't ring, no knocks at the door,
I start to think deep right down to the core
So many things don't which one should I do
Things seem worse when your tired I know this is true
Should I paint that picture or wash the floor?
Why do I do nothing but pace the floor?
I have pain in my body it gives me grief
Take little blue pills to get some relief
Kids at home and kids on their own
I wish they all still lived at home
Children grow up and leed their own lives
Daughters have husbands and sons have wives
They come home and visit I cry when they leave
Yes, it's true I wear my heart on my sleeve
I am how I am for the world to see
Even with all the worry I still will be me
Sleep or no sleep I get my work done
Everyday I try to have a little fun
Like now I reflect on the high point of my day
I will take a minute, time to pray
To be thankful for the love that is shown to me
By two sons and two daughters how lucky can I be
The problems in the world  and the news can be sad
Society the enviornment things can sound  so bad
I have to remember hope is a gift
God always gives me a spiritual lift
All my worries all my fear
When I start to pray it will all disapear.
Now I won't worry all through the night
Now I can say to you all goodnight.
