SHOULD YOU FIND IT HARD TO SLEEP TONIGHT
Should you find it hard to sleep tonight,
Think of those with no bed in sight.
Remember the family without a place,
Finding shelter in a homeless space.
Should you find yourself stuck in traffic’s snare,
Think of those who don’t drive anywhere.
To many, cars are a privilege unknown,
With dreams of journeys they’ve never flown.
Should you have a rough day at your work,
Think of those who are waiting for a spark.
For months they’ve searched without success,
Yet their spirits refuse to regress.
Should you despair over a love’s lost song,
Think of those who’ve never belonged.
Who’ve never felt love’s warm embrace,
Or shared in its tender, sweet grace.
In every struggle, a lesson to learn,
A deeper compassion to discern.
Count your blessings, however small,
And find the strength to rise above it all.
By Medard Laz
This poem turns inconvenience into invitation.
It asks us to pause, to widen our lens, and to measure our discomfort against another’s daily reality. Without shaming or preaching, it leads the heart toward gratitude and compassion.
Its quiet wisdom reminds us that awareness is the first step toward mercy, and mercy is never wasted.
What does the poem say to YOU?
SLEEP DOESN’T HELP IF IT’S YOUR SOUL THAT IS TIRED!
