Can't Sleep

God, I can't go to sleep;
My eyes won't stay shut.
I've tried over and over
And still again, but,

My mind's not at ease
And although I have prayed,
My heart is troubled
And very dismayed.

Please give me peace
And give me rest.
May I wake up tomorrow
And do my best.

So now dear God
I will try it again.
I will go back to bed
And lay down my pen.

And hopefully this time
Without further ado,
I will fall right asleep
And have dreams of You.
