When Sleep Falls



When sleep falls upon you,
and you lay down to rest.
Your weary mind put to the test.
As you cleanse the day's residue,
know that many a heart
think of you and wish you well.
Never will you feel torn apart
from loved ones wherever they dwell.
May your dreams be blessed
and awake you from a slumber.
To a new day full of wonder!
