MIDNIGHT THOUGHTS

MIDNIGHT THOUGHTS


In the solitude of night,
What thoughts come to the mind:
Those that are the darkest ones,
Or, of romantic kind?

There are some people who are
Prone to worry too deep.
Due to this they are deprived
Of a blissful sound sleep.

Then there are the blessed ones
Who slumber through the night.
In their dreams they often take,
Through fairyland, a flight.

But the purest of all thoughts
Is that when a man prays
To the Lord for mankind’s good,
As bedtime grace he says.
