+*+*+

I drink the light of shining stars,
Before I slip to sleep,
Knowing I'll be safely held,
In God Our Father's Keep.

Darkness cannot swallow me,
It cannot claim my soul,
For I am blessed with starlight,
As angel bells do toll.

In nights of peaceful slumber,
Full sails span calming seas.
I smoothly cross blue oceans,
Caressed by gentle breeze.

+*+*+

One's frame of mind at bedtime determines the quality of sleep on has. Peaceful thoughts allow peaceful dreams to fill our nights...

"serene, safe and secure"--Yes, Dear Deb! I put all negative throughts out of my mind and put faith in the Universe that all will be well in my corner of the world. I then drift off into peaceful slumber.

Patricia ~

I am much calmer now than when I was younger. I've taken the time to smell the roses and to get to understand myself. I am my own friend and am of the firm belief that everything turns out the way it does for a divine reason. By going with the flow during the day, I am able to go with the flow during my sleeping hours!

(smiles) Of course, because you are an angel too, and He will never let His angels fall or the starlight dim away because He is everyone's Father! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
