Description Sitting down to count the tears
of a world of laughter
and the dance of years

So now I lay me down to sleep
And I pray the Lord will keep
A heart of dreams
A world too true
A life of things I did not do

Reaching out to stop the years
Hoping it won't stop the tears
Tears of hate, of joy, of dreams
And things that were not what they seemed

A year now gone
A trial passed
A life not going quite as asked
Yet full of laughter, song and dance
Filled with triumph and romance

So keep me safe throughout the night
But when I wake with morning's light
Take not away the dance of years
nor replace my joys or tears

For life, it gives and life, it takes,
But in the end, our dance it makes.

Hmm.. a rather happy/sad poem. Whichever you take it. I do like it though. You have a nice concept. Definitly a poem written from heart. I like the generic rhyming, but there also is a lot of repeats. I favor a much higher level of rhyming, btu it's a style to write how you do. Your diction is nice, and your mood needs a little thought to understand, which I think is a good thing. You do a good job, keep it up. I love writers from the heart.
