Why you sleep, oh why? <br />There are already enough stars in the sky <br />Why you sleep, oh why? <br />On the bed so silently you lie. <br /> <br />Dying in sleep is peaceful you said <br />But where is peace when you are dead? <br />Today when I stand beside your bed <br />It feels emptiness in a spoon someone to me fed. <br /> <br />But we all knew that the end was near <br />You were strong and fought with no fear <br />Now I wipe off my last tear <br />So you can sleep peacefully my dear.<br /><br />Aditi Khandelwal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sleep-peacefully-3/
