TOSSING AND TURNING
I LAY AWAKE
WISHING AND HOPING
FOR DAY TO BREAK
WHAT IS THE POINT
OF LYING IN BED?
WIDE AWAKE
WITH THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD
THOUGHTS GOING ROUND
OF WHAT I COULD DO
KEEPING ME ‘WAKE
ALL THE NIGHT THROUGH
AND WORRYING THAT
WHEN MORNING ARRIVES
I’LL FINALLY FIND
THAT SLEEP HITS MY EYES
BUT TOO LATE TO SLEEP
TOO LATE TO REST
THE DAY’S GOING TO BE
ONE, LONG TEST.
WISHING AND HOPING
WHEN NIGHT COMES AROUND
I’LL LAY IN MY BED
AND SLEEP SAFE AND SOUND.
