Rest
Goodnight
It's late.
The clock
Ticks away human fate.
Late to bed
Early to rise.
Not enough rest
No surprise.
Tired we come
Tired we go.
Before we realize
It's the end of the show.
Rest
Is more than a Friend.
It's what
Awaits us all at the end.
So goodnight
To you.
Try to find Rest
Before you're through.

And We Bid You Goodnight
Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest,
Wont you lay your head upon your saviors chest,
I love you all, but jesus loves you the best
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.
I would never ride, well, I would never ride (goodnight, goodnight)
But his rod and his staff, they comfort me (goodnight, goodnight)
Tell a for the ark, that wonderful boat (goodnight, goodnight)
Tell b for the beast at the ending of the wood (goodnight, goodnight)
You know it ate all the children when they wouldnt be good,
Walking in jerusalem just like john (goodnight, goodnight)
I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death,
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.

Goodnight My Friend
Goodnight my sun
Goodnight my friend
Rest your soul at this
Long days end
The fire inside
Will warm our night
And daddys arms will
Hold you tight
Dream of summer skies
Sunset is bound to each sunrise
Rest is your first right
My friend goodnight
This world spinning
Time always winning
The silver chains keep thinning and
This is just your beginning
Sleep my friend
At last be free
No we wont forget
Our merriest melody
Gone to another place
Of carousel rides round an angels face
Im sure wed both laugh at the sight
My friend goodnight

Goodnight
Sleepless nights don't bother me at all
If dawn comes I won't worry
Something deep inside keeps me awake
I wish that you were here right beside me, woah
I recall when I was very young
And could not go to sleep
My father sang me songs to make me tired
But memories don't make it easier
So goodnight wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream you dream of me
So goodnight wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream you dream of me
Now I lie awake and it's no fun
Tossing and turning
I'd call you if it weren't so very late
But telephones don't bring you close to me, woah
I recall the times we stayed up late
Wide awake but still dreaming
There was nothing on this earth could make me tired
But memories don't make it easier
So goodnight wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, if you dream, you dream of me
So goodnight wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, if you dream, you dream of me
And I hope that if you dream you dream of me

Goodnight
You thought shyness was to blame
And you'd get to live your life again
When you get to wish everyone goodnight
As the crowd booed out your name
At least they spelled it right, so you don't complain
Why everyone is wishing you goodnight
And maybe I'm wrong
And maybe you're right
What if I was the only one who can say goodnight
It's your heroes who are to blame
Constantly saying things that they don't explain
Well that's too bad, but I still can't say goodnight
And I just can't stay tonight
I woke up saying goodnight
Goodnight

Late Cat
Late to train
Late to bus
Late to class
And late to party;
She is everywhere a late cat!
Late to eat
Late to sleep
Late to fate
And late to luck;
She is for everything a late cat!
Late to clock
Late to block
Late to dash
Against the truck
And, lo! Even late to death;
She is always a late cat!

Be Concerned With
We have no time to watch
Each pulse is to be lived with an attempt to catch
Somebody may find it enterprising and as heaven
Rest all may be living under fear and not behaving even
Lot more to learn and lot more to loose
It is to be picked up and rightfully choose
What are we going to do with this precious moment?
Later on no time will be left to resent
God has given us beautiful earth to live
Full trust and dedicate to her to believe
That she is was and will always be for us
It has to be matter of great concern with trust
So rise early and face the day bravely
See the sun shine before it is late in early
Rest you all may follow generously
Keep pace with time and carry out continuously
Not to worry about what will be next?
It will certainly be in favor and best
It may prove sometime as an acid test
But believe in self and be assured of about the rest

Goodnight, My Love
Goodnight my love, the tired old moon is descending,
Goodnight my love, my moment with you now is ending.
It was so heavenly, holding you close to me,
It will be heavenly to hold you again in a dream,
The stars above have promised to meet us tomorrow,
Til then, my love, how dreary the new day will seem,
So for the present dear, well have to part,
Sleep tight my love, goodnight my love,
Remember that youre my sweetheart.

Chapter 8
Goodnight teaser.
With your emptiness,
And suspicous intent!
You sent two drinks,
From the bartender with a wink!
Believing a weakness,
Will provide a hook up to link!
Goodnight teaser.
I've seen you hop from table to stool.
Flirting with your looseness glimpse,
Hoping to attract unescorted fools!
I happen to be in research...
Observing singles at meat bars!
And if you have read the note I've sent,
You'll discover my taste for raw oysters and caviar!
Goodnight teaser.
I will probably be up real late!
I will put some wine on ice at 10.
And if you're not knocking on room 815...
By midnight,
Then...
You will be much too late!
Goodnight teaser.
I'm seeking a subject...
On those who tempt old geezers!
To complete my findings,
And put a close to chapter 8...
With a bit of social unwinding,
I could use and appreciate!
Goodnight teaser.
I have a view to share that's nice!
If you decide you will like to be satisfied...
Knock softly once,
Pause...
With a 'knock knock' twice!

The tired mind
The tired mind
~
The tired mind bemoans a weary traveller
Far too old in the day as night time falls
Dust laden boots kicked to the dirt
An aching body laid down to sleep
While memories continue to stir
Unavoidable to a weathered thought
The onset of a life’s adventures
The romances won and lost
The unknown of what is still to come
A day hence shall be revealed
For now fear and anticipation linger
A tired mind plays on trivial questions
Labouring to forget and to sleep
Heavy set eyes look out into nothing
Into the night the ending of the day
Old and late the hour has come
For a weary traveller to say goodnight
And for a tired mind to be done

Goodnight
(orbison/dees)
My lovely woman child
I found you out running wild with someone new
Youve been untrue, and everybody knows were through
But I cant say goodbye to you, no matter what you do
My heart wont let you go, although I know you go
With someone new, I think of you
I think of how you kiss, your tenderness
With all of this, I miss the way you say goodnight
Bittersweet, your kisses, when my heart still misses
The way that things used to be, but I know youre strong for
Other arms you long for, and you can never come back to me
Not just for yesterday, tonight or tomorrow
Ah, but forever
Ill hear you say goodnight, goodnight
Goodnight turned out to be a lie
And I cant help it if I cry
Goodnight my love, sleep tight my love
Goodnight

I Couldn't Ever Love Anyone Else
My skin poured red,
It Felt like swords had stabbed me dead,
Love was a word,
I never herd,
Or said,
I'm sick of being alone in my cold bed,
My views on life had been blurred,
I walked this earth blinded by dread,
Pain and fear was all I knew,
But than I meet you.
Your an angel,
In every way your own,
You makes me feel not alone.
All I do,
Is think of you,
You are my baby boo,
you make my days better when I'm feeling blue,
If I lost you,
I don't know what I would do.
But I know you're my baby,
And you would never hurt me,
And I hope this
Has made you see,
That you're my world,
And I would do anything to be with you.
I want to hold you,
Squeeze you,
Please you
Be with you
Now,
Forever,
And always.
The way you
Look into my eyes,
Tells me there will
Never be any lies.
I hope to spend forever,
With the one I love.
Please don't ever,
Let me go,
I don't want to say good bye,
But I promise I'll be back so please don't cry.
If you're reading this laying in your bed,
Imagine lying with me,
Putting your head,
On my chest,
Closing your eyes and drifting into the deepest rest,
Goodnight my sweetie,
Goodnight my baby,
Goodnight my dork,
Goodnight my lover
Goodnight and sweet dreams.

the last poem for Ramon
from a long trip
he arrived home
feverish,
he said he needed
rest
a very long rest
in the ancestral house
of his father
where the trees are
old and tall
where the air is
refreshing
where the silence
is abundant
for he is tired
and wants to have
his much needed rest
it was too late for him
to know that he has
stage 4
for lung cancer
for which he succumbed
in his death bed
yesterday morning
in the ancestral house of
his father
his home away from
home now
away from wife
and his three children

Goodnight Facebook
You were there to share my pain.
You were there to share my joy.
24hours a day you're always there,
brigding the gap of my lonliness.
With you, i will always smile.
With just a click you bring me
tidings from a million miles.
With you, am always in touch
my friends.
But now my bed want to get
in touch with me.
Goodnight facebook.
Goodnight.
Wish you can tell me
sleep tight, sleep nice,
bedbug won't bite.
Goodnight!

The Late Night Poem
THE LATE- NIGHT POEM
The late- night poem
Is a tired poem
It wants to sleep,
But it has not done what it should do-
Once it is written
It can go to rest.
The late- night poem
Is not a real poem,
Nothing is,
Not tonight,
In all this tiredness.

Tired Of Gettin Nowhere
Chorus:
Im tired of gettin nowhere, wish I was inspired, but its just not there
I hope this doesnt last, cause Im tired of gettin nowhere fast
Woke up this morning and went back to sleep
The sun was pourin and the rain was gettin deep
I dont know what Im supposed to do
cause everywhere I turn, I wind up headin back to you
I dont know how long I will lay here in this bed
Staring at the ceiling, going crazy in my head
Got to find some meaning, some kind of reason to go on
The only one I had was you and now youre gone, and
Chorus
My friends all tell me I should mellow out
Surely Ive got better things to think about
Must be something I can find to help me lose these blues
But the only thing thats on my mind, is standing in your shoes
Chorus
Youd think by now Id be exactly where I want to be
Got what I need, know what I need to know
Im all dressed up but without you theres nowhere to go
(solo)
Ooh, youd think by now Id be exactly where I want to be
Got what I need, know what I need to know
Im all dressed up but without you theres nowhere to go
And Im so tired of gettin nowhere
Wish I was inspired, but its just not there
I hope this doesnt last, cause Im tired of gettin
Tired of gettin, tired of gettin nowhere
Im tired of gettin nowhere, so real tired of gettin nowhere
Tired of gettin nowhere, tired, tired of gettin
Im tired of gettin nowhere, ooh yeah, wont you say it, ooh yeah
Tired of gettin nowhere fast - get some rest!

Miss Missy
Theres a band playing down the street we could see, yeah
Movie showing down at the von lee
A church supper with grandma and grandad
Lets go out and have ourselves the best time weve ever had
Chorus:
Say goodnight, my miss missy
Goodnight, its time to go home
Hey, I might call you later
Oh missy, girl, its late, its time to go home
Weight of the worlds now on your head
I take back all those mean things I said
Little baby kicking down in your gut
I hope it doesnt grow up to be as crazy as us
Chorus:
Goodnight, oh my miss missy
Goodnight, its time to go home
Hey, I might, I just might, call you later
Oh missy its time to go home
So lets dance slow just one more time
Let me hold your face close to mine, yeah
Lets pretend that jesus has come
To take us out just one more night for fun

It's Your Soul
I'm feeling the stress
I'm feeling the pressure
It's setting in
It's breaking me down
I don't know how much longer I can take it
I don't know how much more I can take
I'm seeing the end of myself
I'm seeing that this is all I got
Man I'm depressed
Man I cant do this
I'd never say it out loud, but this is too much
My friend are great they help me forget
I turn to my sins, to my addictions
It's turning me into an empty person
This pressure will break me
I won't say it out loud but I can't take it anymore
I won't say it out loud but this is true horror
I dress it up, I put on a smile, I deaden the pain for awhile
But it's all an act
The pain is quite real
I say I'm tired
And yeah I got no rest
I say I'm sleep deprived, and believe me I don't sleep
But even in my quiet hours...
There is no peace
I say I'm sleep deprived, but it doesn't matter how much I sleep
I'm still tired
It's a never ending tiredness
The feeling is wearing me out
Wearing me out
Until I'm just
Weary
There is no sleep in sleeping
There is no rest and resting
I can't find peace in inner peace
I can't find peace in outer peace
A vacation won't do
So I tell you
It's your soul
The tiredness
It's your soul
The weariness
It's your soul
The depression and longing for more
It's your soul
The brokenness and stress
It's your soul
Feeling like you can't do it
It's your soul
Feeling overwhelmed because it's all too much to handle
It's your soul
The reason you're restless even in times of rest is because
It's your soul
The tiredness and brokenness is in your soul
So let go for once
So let God for once
This problem is deep inside
And no matter how hard you try to hide
You need help
Because it's your soul
So let Jesus restore your soul, because that's rest
So let God give you peace, because He's the only one who can
So let the Holy Spirit comfort you, because He'll mend your soul
It's funny that we always look forward to this vacation or the next
It's funny that we think there's an end to the stress
It's funny that we think we're tired because we don't sleep
It's funny we don't realize we're lost sheep
Because the problem is our soul
Go to Jesus because He promises
'Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden with burden and I will give you rest...'
