On the precipice of sleep


Gentle exhales greet my ears;

Whistles, grunts, and snores.

Above and beside me,

The sounds of life abound

From the children I adore

Although the day was full,

A break from stress and toil,

It is the simple things which most

Ease the weary soul

I close my eyes and drift away,

Listening as life’s soothing music plays

Another day turns into night

Tomorrow is but a day away
