Awake or asleep


Everyday I think of something beautiful and deep, Before I go to sleep. It brings a smile And gives the strength to go another mile. What does a day hold; If it's not something sweet and bold? A hello to a new stranger A hug to the old friend A kiss to the beloved, And a fight with someone close and at hand. A walk of faults and regrets Giving hope to make things best. Thoughts that may be a little sad Reminds of all things that make me happy. Slowly in the years I realized Nobody is born intelligent and wise. Risk taken can be calculated And truths can be manipulated. It's not when I get up from sleep It's how much I'm awake when I'm going to sleep.
