Another Sleepless night

The house is quiet, peaceful, and still
As I sit by a lamp to write
Trying to make sense of all that goes on
Victim of another sleepless night.

My mind is running in circles
Each thought competing with the next
Yesterday, today, tomorrow, next week
All play a part in stealing my rest

Did I forget to do this
Will I remember to do that
Will I get everything done
With my sanity intact

All of these questions and so many more
Run like a river through my mind
Tossing, turning, watching the clock
Minutes turn to hours, taking their time

Help me Lord to speak to these thoughts
As you once spoke to the storm
Peace be still throughout the night
Sweet dreams until the morn
