Night Shift
As i work the night shift
i think of mom's safety
my thoughts wander and drift
Lord cover us, blessed be.
As i drove thru' the night
i pondered upon the rain
only droplets, please no frights!
Lord help ease away this pain.
As i sit here doing almost nothing
i browse through all the newspapers
the minutes fly by thus bringing
the long shift filled with butter crackers.
Again my thoughts doth wander
i see Ms. K's face aglowing
my heart yearns never to pander
i hear her voice, shrill in singing.
Then i take a very brief break
have a ciggie', that's just nice!
fill my time, prayers said
then i look, i see some mice!
Till i wait for 9pm
here i seat penning this rhyme
oh! can't wait for dreamer's realm
this night be over, a time and a time.
So i leave from work tonight
my duty's done, my heart takes flight
i cannot wait to see daylight
my night shift's done, to my delight!
