Sleepless

It's 2 AM and I can't sleep on this rainy October night. A fire burns brightly on the hearth my home is snug and tight. My mind is working overtime and I wish it would slow down. Drinking coffee by the pot in this little mid west town. My little dogs have both curled up beside me on the chair. My old tom cat is by the fire grooming his long hair. My loving wife is fast asleep safe and sound in our big bed. And here I am trying to write the words running through my head. My life has been a good one I've been blessed beyond belief. I just wish my busy mind would give me some relief.
