Good Night Sleep Tight

Good Night Sleep Tight I lay in bed Processing my day in my head. Things I’ve forgotten, things I should’ve said. I can’t quiet the voices in my head Telling me what I should’ve done instead. Did I do all I could? Have I done everything I should? Is the Lord forgiving of the life I'm living? Do my children know the love That comes unsparingly from above? Are they saying their prayers tonight Trusting in the Lord in all things out of sight? Abba you know my heart, The turmoil tears me apart. I hope you are proud of me, When it is your face I see Have I shown my gratitude Being thankful instead of rude? Please quite these voices in my head And let me sleep instead.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your wise thoughts through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
