At Rest

Get the bacon
Fry the corn
I'll mind my business
And you mind yourn (southern)

Wash the clothes
Dust the pretties
Go to the store
Buy the kids some goodies

Fight your demons
Keep yourself in check
Be sweet and kind
Don't be a problem for others to correct

Go on vacation
Make sure we have fun
Don't be stressed
Be happy to lie in the sun

Do, go , be, everything
To make others feel great
Find your purpose
Don't live according to fate

A moment, please
To rest without a thought
I need to be nothing
So I can remain in who LOVE bought

...me

I have never been able to rest in peace without thinking about something. This is very difficult, but I am learning.
