Awake Or Asleep

Everyday I think of something beautiful and deep,
Before I go to sleep.
It brings a smile
And gives the strength to go another mile.
What does a day hold;
If it’s not something sweet and bold?
A hello to a new stranger
A hug to the old friend
A kiss to the beloved,
And a fight with someone close and at hand.
A walk of faults and regrets
Giving hope to make things best.
Thoughts that may be a little sad
Reminds of all things that make me happy.
Slowly in the years I realized
Nobody is born intelligent and wise.
Risk taken can be calculated
And truths can be manipulated.
It’s not when I get up from sleep
It’s how much I’m awake when I’m going to sleep.
