Sleep is a loved among everyone,
And many cannot stop, once they have begun,
So enjoyable, and relaxing,
Yet when deprived, it can be taxing.
Sleep is a valuable thing.

The hours go past, and you start dreaming,
Sometimes of happiness, which makes you start beaming,
But not always, such as when you end up screaming,
Like a little boy, who is not getting his way.
Sleep is a valuable thing.

Sleep dances on our thoughts all day,
As we wait with much dismay,
As it will not come fast enough.
Yet when it comes time to hit the sack,
We always want to have a snack,
And do any other thing to keep us up,
But of course we don’t realize ‘til morning,
That sleep is a valuable thing.
