William Darnell Sr Poet Rhyme

Now I Lay Me

Now I Lay Me

Now I lay these tired eyes to sleep,
Oh Lord, 
could you watch over me? 

God, could you Bless my family and friends, 
as I slumber here, in my cozy bed?

One more thing, 
then enough here, being said!

Until the night turns into the light, 
then I'll wake, 
and the world will seem bright. 

And Lord, I love you; I wanted you to know?

It's that time now; 
turn off the lights and this show.

Good Night!

Darlene De Beaulieu February 12, 2021 at 12:03 PM Hello William Darnell Sr. you have done this poem very cleverly. It will be my fav. Enjoy your day my friend. Darlene De Beaulieu February 13, 2021 at 11:14 AM Hello William, I am glad I made you chuckle. Yes we all have an audience. I am glad that you are not in a dark place either. Glad to hear that you are happy. What is glass itching? It is good to get back to hobbies. Best wishes Darlene William Darnell Sr February 13, 2021 at 12:51 AM Haha, Hello, Darlene! You had me at a chuckle, I even spit my drink out, sheesh. Haha! Well, aren't we supposed to write cleverly, knowing we have an audience? It's not that I am writing for the audience; I'm writing the way I feel. I haven't been in this seat I am sitting in again, for far too, too, long, indeed, and I am not in a dark place either. But I am happy, I have restarted past hobbies: wood carving, drawing, glass etching; I believe I am going to go eCommerce. Best of Wishes, William
