Oh, dear sleep,

Because you're gone I want to weep.

My thoughts are blurred,

I hope my words aren't slurred.

My eyelids begin to fall,

As my bed, to me, does call.

It is so hard to focus,

I promise this isn't bogus.

* This was inspired one day because I was really tired and I needed a way to stay awake. :)

Family members can be intimidating,

Nevertheless nothing less than amazing.

My brothers stand strong and tall,

Doing their best to make sure that I don't fall.

My sisters after me do follow,

Which makes it hard, at times, to swallow.

I love my mom who gives me hugs,

Which eases the chore of cleaning the rugs.

My daddy is one I can trust,

The love I have for him will never grow rust.
