Sleep

Work as much as you may

Many laurels may make your days

But  if that snatches your sleep away

You need to think to change your ways

Money and wealth one may accumulate

Peace of mind is bartered away

One wishes to have some sleep

Which comes not near any way

One may like to do whatever and all

But much of that needn't be done at all

Do what you want but as much, that's all

That you have time to rest and introspect, after all

They sleep well who have nothing to lose

And who distribute all what they can otherwise lose

Pills and potions for sleeplessness adorn one's bedside

Who yearn for some sleep, while tossing  from side to side

Sleep is a wonderful gift

After a day's arduous grit

Let it be soft and sweet

So that you wake up rested and fit

Why do something

That robs your sleep

And if it is done by mistake

Never repeat, and soon get past it

Prepare well to have a good sleep

It is no mean task, as some may think

Gold and silver may tempt one much

But they are nothing before a good night's sleep!
