'neath the Willow

Let me write a couple lines before I go to sleep I promise not to burden you nor to make you cry or weep Lay your face down on the pillow on the shoreline 'neath the willow May you the sandman sprinkle with dreams of stars that twinkle

Love it, Gershon. No more counting sheep for me. If I can’t sleep, I’ll recite this to myself. [No, I’m not saying your poetry puts me to sleep - honest]. I adore ‘on the shoreline ’neath the willow . Terry
