Preparing for Rest

February 7, 2010
By Anonymous

As I lay my head for sweet, sweet slumber
Counting my blessings number to number
I think of my day and all it brought
Jumbling things run through my mind; Oh that thought !
The good, the bad, and all that 's in between.
I laugh, I dream, I skip, and run..then SCREAM?
Running uphill, and tumbling down valleys,
Then taking a walk through that dark alley
I want a red light to stop this madness !
For my heart is drenched with thoughts of sadness.
Am I awake, or is this just a dream?
I need moments of peace and sweet serene

I think I'm beginning to fall asleep
Farewell to a!ll thoughts of sorrow and weep

It was for an assignment at school and I felt as if I did a good job on it; so I decided to submit my work :) Enjoy !

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
