As I Lay To Sleep Poem by Qiniso Mogale

As I retire into the night
As I lay to rest
As I put my head on the pillow
I reflect on the day
As I lay to sleep.

I reflect on all the words I spoke
I reflect on idle words
I reflect on useful words
I pray I speak less idle words
I reflect on the day's mistakes
I pray I learn from them
I pray I never repeat them
As I lay to sleep.

I make plans for the following day
I review certain choices
I take certain decisions
I reassess my life's dreams
I review my life's vision
As I lay to sleep.
