I try so hard to fall asleep.
There's no use in counting sheep.

All my thoughts, I tried to discard.

Falling asleep shouldn't be this hard.

I recollected all the memories

that were on the tip of my nose.
I thought all that positive thinking
would help me doze.

Then, an idea came to my mind
Why don't I read a book to help me unwind?

I looked in the cabinet for an interesting novel.
I couldn't find anything, ugh, how awful!

I laid back into bed, sad and dreadful.

I wondered what would encourage me to rest.
I thought of Something from my childhood

that helps me sleep the best.

It was my mother's sweet, cozy cuddles.
Snigdha Samesh
(7F) I ran into her room and sprang onto her bed,
she held me close and gave me snuggles.

I thought about fun memories I had with her,
So fun, happy, and bright they were.

I drifted to sleep as
I adored my mother’s charms.
I thought to myself

“nothing can comfort one like
mother’s arms”
