No Dreams Tonight

Can't sleep, deep in thoughts,
keeping beat with the clock.
Looking threw mini blinds.
Olive tree branches, draping
down; I'm envyous, they seem
relaxed. I see the moon between
the leaves. No barking dogs,
just stillness. Quiet moments,
calming down. Keeping thoughts,
down to a roar;--- good night all.

Thank you, Mrs. Kendrick, there is no doubt in my mind; this little guy will ever forget his loving granny, and pawpaw! When he comes up to you and looks at you and say's granny, can I have a cookie? Stop; look into his eyes, pause,--- your etched in his mind, forever more! No money can match that love.
