Sleep

Sleep, the heaven-sent elixir, the balm of all pain!

Drench me, oh drench me in it, I struggle in vain.

To fight insanity, the torment which I can’t bear,

I plead with the Almighty. He prefers not to hear!

In sleep, you can be wafted up to the distant star,

In sleep, you can be happy, which no one can mar,

Sleep is like an emollient, to soothe and to heal,

It is like anesthesia when the pain you cannot feel.

Sleep, sleep, sleep--- sleep if you can,

Invigorating, energizing, perfect is God's plan,

It’s a much-needed escape, a blessing to mankind,

A therapy so potent is impossible to find.
