I love to spend some time with sleep
Because he makes me feel like I can do anything
He won't stand for any simpering
About disabilities
Just concentrates
On capabilities
And on the possibilities
They might bring.

Not like the morning.
He's a stickler
For good time-keeping
He likes everything 'just-so'
And he hates to find me sleeping
When he comes tapping on my window.
And he's got no time for this fantastical dreaming racket,
I wake up & he's there
Holding out his strait-jacket.

And I object but I always try to keep him sweet
'Cause I'm only too aware
If I upset him
One day, he won't be there.

Ah yes every new morning brings opportunities but also demands to get into action and not always in the field related to the realization of our dreams.

Great job!!

What a unique and creative write! ~ and it had a certain charm to it, as well.

May your days be as sweet as your nights!

Love & Light,

I just wanted to thank everyone who not only reads my nonsense but who spends some of their own time actually commenting on it!

RDB: Thank you so much for your continuinng support.

JamesMichael: I am really happy when you tell me if you have 'enjoyed' something.

Ecrivan: Thanx, I hope your headaches are not too frequent.

Margherita: Thank you so much for your continuing support (as well)

Magnus: Thanx. You're probably right it is a little bit spooky but my head is sometimes. Good to know I don't always suffer alone.

TomMark: Thank you as always.

EarthAngel: Thank you so much, it's comments particullary like yours that make all of this worthwhile.

Thank you to everyone who has read & even more those that comment. They make me so happy... love you all...
