Sweet Sleep

Although by necessity, some people utilize me by day, For most people, I come to comfort and relax them at night. Whether by night or by day, In December or the month of May, Without warning, I will often exit in late evenings or early mornings. I might even take wings or flex my sails, and quietly vanish without tell or trail. But dear one, always remember this: I will often depart just for a spell. And also remember this: You must prepare and anticipate my return. Be calm; Be poised; Wait and be still. You see, I take no pleasure in frequent or occasional exits. I shall return because I was made by God for you.
