Insomnia

"I cannot get to sleep tonight.
I toss and turn and flop.
I try to count some fluffy sheep
while o'er a fence they hop.

I try to think of pleasant dreams
of places really cool.
I don't know why I cannot sleep -
I slept just fine at school.”

When you lie down,
 you will not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and
 your sleep will be sweet.

A Little Pooh Bear ~

 

Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing,

 of just going along,

 listening to all the things you can't hear,

 and not bothering.

Winnie the Pooh

If the person you are talking to

 doesn't appear to be listening,

 be patient.

 It may simply be that

 he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.

Winnie the Pooh

Love said,

"Wake still and think of me,"

Sleep, "Close your eyes till break of day,"

But Dreams came by

and smilingly

gave both to

Love and Sleep

their way.

Sara Teasdale

At Night

Bowing Boughs ~

“Listen to the trees talking in their sleep,"

she whispered,

as he lifted her to the ground.

"What nice dreams they must have!”

Simply Silly ~

"feather and fluff"

were the words

that

she said
words that whirled
all

around
danced a jig
in

my head
they stretched

up high
they tumbled

down low
they chased
like

children
with nowhere

to go
weary at last
I trumbled to bed
where
feather and fluff
would
cradle
my head

may your day

be blessed

with

a smile
