The Light of Day

Precious life slips through my careless fingers I stay in bed well past dawn miss the wonder of the morn once I labored deep in the night making sure the numbers were right tossed and turned past dawn anyway ~ never saw the light of day

Hi again Gershon, it's Olympian Labs, not Olympic. :)

Appreciate your diligence, Regina. I actually take a 3-mg quick-dissolving tablet of Melatonin very occasionally. They work pretty well for me too.

Hi Gershon, I take a dropperful of liquid melatonin each night right before bed. It works well. You may want to try it if this is a real life experience. I get the Olympic Labs brand from Amazon. Great writing as usual. You and your family have a splendid Sunday afternoon. Shalom :)
