Rest should never be taken lightly

Otherwise you won't sleep rightly,

Toss and turn sprightly,

Guilt burns brightly,

You won't sleep nightly.

As a child, this is what I learned

So that work is yearned.

As far as I'm concerned,

Rest is always earned.

It will never be overturned.

It does get really rough,

My schedule's filled with stuff,

If I don't do enough

I can't sink into fluff,

I must finish what's tough.

But what happens whereupon

I'm far too tired to carry on?

Sleep should be drawn

So I can start at dawn,

But... the work can't be foregone.
