Blue

BLUE 

come blessed sleep
i’ve a wish to dream no more
no more sheep
getting lost in the corn
that infernal horn

Little Boy Blue, Daver? Maybe he had fallen asleep in a haystack.I need to tell you that I'd forgotten to add my letter to the parcel. fI'd written one that same morning, and that's no dream. Think of the painting as something that had been abandoned. Many walked past it, but nobody wanted it. I've found it a new and caring home!? Kep well, love, Mikki

Counting sheep never works for me either, and the foghorn in the bay can be a necessary torment. Very best wishes~Delice
