By night when others soundly slept, I lay awake in bed and wept. For in my mind, I couldn't shake the thoughts that caused my heart to ache.

The worries of the day gone by, and fears of what the future held inside kept me tossing and turning all night long as I struggled to find a peaceful song.

But then I remembered something wise, a simple truth that brought tears to my eyes. That all of life's troubles and pains are but a temporary and passing phase.

And in the light of this revelation, I found my soul's sweet liberation. For I knew that no matter what may come, I'll face it bravely and overcome it.

So, by night when others soundly slept, I lay awake no longer and wept. But instead, with newfound strength and hope, I embraced the night and learned to cope.
