Late night after night

Late night after night
I pretend I'm alright.
The moon is my friend
I haven't gone round the bend.
Everybody else is sleeping
At least I'm not weeping.
Insomnia, from you relief I'm needing
Oh well, extra time for some reading.
When you never get enough rest
Every day is a test..
Days half-asleep, nights half awake
With one hand you give with the other you take.
The mind does not stop
The eyelids don't drop.
This isn't much of a poem
But today its what I call home.
As I turn out the light again
Will I just lie awake in pain?
Will this insomniac finally find rest?
Or will she just fail this test?

Goodnight...I hope....

A couple of mugs of that before you go to bed and you will be in the land of nod, before you know it. Any Tea that comes with a warning of not to operate machinery after drinking has to be a good thing.

Hey thanks. I could use some of that too.

It's the best thing I've used apart from prescribed meds. Have to make sure it's a really strong brew. It smells pretty bad, but tastes quite nice.

I got my Tea last week. I'm loving it. I'm going to place a big order here this week. I can only get it by ordering online here in the US. Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it very much.
