As I lay in bed
I rest my head

All my thoughts swirl around

Some have fallen to the ground

I may not know what happens next

But I am simply perplexed

I start to count sheep

As I drift to sleep

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
