Life is like Sleeping

Life is like sleeping,

You can live it restless or at peace.

You can toss and turn and fight all night,

Or you can rest your head with ease.

Is your bedroom quite chaotic,

Or is it calming and tranquil?

Is it loud with sounds that’s noisy,

Or is it quiet and peaceful?

What pillow do you use at night

To support your weary head?

Is it hard and non-conforming,

Or soft and yielding instead?

Do you suffer from insomnia?

Is your life just passing you by?

Or is your sleep deep and long,

The kind of sleep that leaves you satisfied.

Do you wake up refreshed and rested?

Do feel recharged with energy?

Are you getting enough sleep at night?

Or are you waking up with lethargy?

God’s protective blanket spirit,

Makes a perfect covering.

It keeps us warm when our hearts are cold,

And keeps us safe while we’re sleeping.

We need to hold onto our dreams,

For God places them in us with purpose.

They point us to our chosen path,

And keeps us living sleepless.
