Sleepy River When the night is calling and you’ve had a busy day Slip into gentle slumber as on your bed you lay Waiting for you to board her is the Ship of Dreams Ready to take you sailing on Sleepy River’s streams Cast off from the jetty and set yourself adrift Yield to the magic of dream times softest gift Sleepy River is beckoning float throughout the night Ready to awaken somewhere in the dawn’s new light Float on Sleepy River past the shadows of despair Sailing into starlight guided by loving care Enjoy the Ship of Dreams it’s a palace of delight There’s magic all around you on this ship tonight Dreams that offer wonder fill your very soul These are the promises that will make you whole Sleepy River commands you to cast your cares away Sail on into moonbeams prepare yourself for day The stars on the water reflect back dreamers sight Sleepy River runs on never pausing in the night Daylight Ocean waits to receive it at the bend Ever calling onward its sleepy-time friend From the ship you’ll disembark at the break of day Then the Ship of Dreams will softly fade away Sleepy River runs into the arms of Daylight Sea And I hear it calling wait for me yes wait for me Marsha To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 [This message has been edited by Marsha (02-01-2002 05:05 PM).] |

Marsha my love, to call this perfection...would be an understatement. You dearheart are outclassing me at every turn...and I love the spirit of you that rises to every challenge, on every occasion. Don't soar too high love for my wings are made of brass and sealed in wax. I would chase the clouds with you but don't ask me to catch the sun...only the angels such as you can do that. Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Kethry is right, dear Marsha. You and your angel wings are soaring into the bluest heavens! You are writing superior content beautifully structured from wonderful inspiration. All I can say, Marsha, is: As I float down sleepy river in peace Beautiful singing, I hear from the blue? For only angels sing with such release Like harps playing, calling me to you. I look up to heavenly skies afar In clear skies above to angelic sounds And there you are pretty twinkling star Spreading your poetic joy wings around. Over my sleepy river. -Silver Streak Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Mushy...you have gone and done it...Now we might as well pack our bags...go off to Scotland or some other dreary place over there....and have some fish and chips... cause you have already met the challenge... |
