Sleep



Sleep is a beautiful kiss.
Receiving the kiss I forget my worries and anxieties.
The warm kiss invigorates my brain,body and mind.
Life becomes sublime.
I wake up in the dawn afresh and alive.
Remembering the kiss I fight the battles of life.
The powerful kiss gives me much strengths and energies.
With the hope that I will receive a more beautiful kiss I carry forward the day's battles.
As I receive the kiss I forget everything.
I pray to the Lord to give me a beautiful kiss.
By His grace I have fought many battles of life.
I do not know how many more kisses I will get before I surrender to the eternal kiss.
