Sometimes I

Sometimes I wake in the night Covered in pain, head to toe Though this leaves quite the fright I know my mind is my only foe Sometimes I wake not once but twice My mind too busy for me to get up Trust in me, this is not nice My mind is like a storm in a cup Sometimes I cannot seem to sleep I cannot control the mind I have The pain it brings makes me weep I'd like to know why it won't behave

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet 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." Have a blessed day.

My Darling daughter, You are wonderfully talented, I love your crazy mind, without you, life would be utterly dull. I am the proudest mum on this side of heaven, love you Babygirl.
