Bluesday

Sun please don’t rise tomorrow
Or the next day if you can
As my aching heart can’t face another day
Let nights cloak wrap around me 
And hide me from my woes
When I lay my head to pillow 
And my eyes I finally close

Let not my heart be troubled 
By the problems of the day
So I can sleep at peace with all the world
And if daylight don’t break my slumber
Or some nightmare from the past
I shall sleep until the nightfall
When I will be safe at last

Lucilla Carrillo Date: 3/23/2014 10:25:00 AM Hi Andrew; This is a very nice but sad poem. I guess many people feel like that, when they are at their worst. Last year I was bedridden for five months. I am still around. God knows us better then we know ourselves. Thanks for sharing this with us.... Lucilla Login to Reply Robert Andrew Lyle Date: 3/23/2014 11:05:00 AM Sorry to hear of your illness Lucilla. Yes this was a bad time in my life and I did not know which way to turn. One way you lose a daughter the other way you lose your family. Hence the poem. thank you for your lovely comments. May God continue to give you good health to enjoy life and her virtues. God bless you. Andy

Scott Thirtyseven Date: 3/22/2014 8:40:00 PM Some days you don't want to get out of bed, other days are so great that you don't want them to end. We hope for more of the latter, but you've captured the former well here.

We do not get what we want but we certainly get what we need. Thank you for your kind words. Have a look at Mikis Theodorakis East Berlin 1987 Strosse to stroma sou yia thio the bosouki playing is awesome. Andy O Irlandos
