sleep is what i desire
one without any dreams
free from pain and fire,
void of any thoughts or feelings.
slumber is what i await,
so peaceful that i may rest
so deep that i wish i do not wake,
free from problems that pest.
sleep is what i need,
to rest my weary mind
and regain my tired body.
Sleep is what i want,
to escape these feelings of sorrow,
with hope and pray'r
that they will disappear tomorrow.
Lord, grant me sleep
As I close my eyes and pray
that you may your angels keep
me and my loved ones safe today.
