Trick to a Good Night’s Sleep

If sleepless nights reign over you

You can do a simple trick,

It’ll help you get to sleep

It’ll only take a few

It isn’t counting sheep

Nor is it drinking milk

It’s something brand new,

A trick to ensure deep sleep

Find any window,

Yes any window will do –

Push back the drape

I promise a good view

Before you are thousands of stars

Glistening in the night

Burning in that blackness,

Oh, so very bright

Now start counting them aloud,

Yes, with your whole chest,

One, two, three, four,

Loud and proud is best

Soon your eyes will be heavy,

So heavy with sleep

That you’ll start to mumble –

On your feet you’ll no longer keep

So back to bed you’ll go;

That invisible pull

Back under the covers

With the moon oh so full.
