To Sleep : Family Poetry

My hearts in a bind

Been put to the test

So now my tired mind

Cries out for a rest.

Muscles hurt deep down

From work and strain

Need just a little sleep

To ease all the pain.

Heavy eye lids burn

Can't hold them up longer

They each fall in turn

A wink put a slumber.

So many on me depend

And sleep cannot now happen

Earnings I spend and spend

Its's a cash flow problem.

I cannot save a lot

Even for all my thrift

Suddenly if find I've got

To work another shift. . . . .
