Night Time Cries
February 15, 2026
By Rose Marie Rideout
It's late at night
Everyone is sleeping,
I'm awake here alone,
For sleep isn't for me tonight.
I lay in bed for several hours
Wishing the pain would fade,

For I can no longer rest
So many people tonight
Can't rest for other reasons
They have nightmares
Wake up afraid and scared

Just night time cries
What is one to do
Looking at a full day ahead
A birthday dinner to prepare
Energy at it's lowest
Night time cries
Has drained and exhausted me
The weather changes
it doesn't agree with me
So I stay awake all night
That's how it must be.
