If I wake up—
Will I stop dreaming?
If I wake up—
Will my nightmare end?
If I wake up—
Will the people around me
Wake up too?
If I wake up—
Will I be OK with what
I see?
If—I wake up; will I truly be
Awake?
And when I lie back down
To sleep—
Will I rest?
If I rest—
Will I be able to
Show those around me the
Rewards of REST, Where do
I go to find rest? To sleep?
In the bed?
In God?
"In God"—
