Today feelings 🤗

When you can’t sleep, what do you do?

Just fret and worry, toss and simmer

That is a foolish thing to do!

It only makes blue things bluer.

WHEN YOU CAN’T SLEEP

Why don’t you lie and just relax?

Forget about your income tax!

Then jump aboard your memory ship

And, back to childhood, take a trip.

Play once again the games you played: That causes fret and fume to fade.

The swimming hole, the rippling brook,

The funny story, cowboy book;

The fun you had, while just a boy, Will prove that life has lots of joy.

Go tramp the fields and woods again,

Get lost once more in drenching rain.

Remember, when the bull chased you,

The fence you had to struggle through.

Or think of dolls that made you glad

And how you loved the neighbor’s lad.

Go back to school or Sunday school

The pranks you played; are the Golden Rule.

Repeat the prayers your mother said Each night when you were tucked in bed.

Then, if you’ve taken my advice,

You’ll find that life is pretty nice.

Perhaps you’ll laugh, perhaps you’ll weep Then, in sheer gladness, go to sleep.

Or these days watch YouTube channel

That’s a sure way to snooze off with those earplugs still in

Ouch!
