sleep tight II

by stephanie pisces - Not entered

goodnight to those for whom I care
may all you dreams you never share
be yours to cherish through the night
and diminish all your fright

for as you sleep and as you dream
your eyes forever still will gleam 
for in my heart you'll always be
as close friends are eternally

as you sleep and as you dream
you will believe and it will seem 
that life is nothing but broken dreams

no hopes for the weary, no care for the lost
you pay the price, you pay the cost
for everytime your hope is spattered
your life seems all the more clattered

you ask "why can't life understand me?"
you answer "because you don't understand me"
you also ask "what do you mean?"
you answer "you have to believe in me"
"believe in yourself," you ask and soon see
that yes, that's the way to live blistfully

but then you wake and soon you see
that life is all you see it be
there is no dream
there is no lie
life is here...it will not die

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this one because I didn't like the first Sleep Tight that I submitted.  I hope you like this version better.  And sleep tight, everyone.  And most importantly, God bless you all.
