Rest easy, darling

Breathe deeply, and smile

Knowing that sleep

Is a gift from God

To remind you that this is how life works best.

For it is in your night

That your body is healing

Your mind and spirit at work

To prepare for what comes

When the sun rises again.

So rest easy, darling

You are safe

In this very moment

That you are here with me

You are safe

And you are allowed to receive

This gift of sleep.
