The Lord Won’t Let Me Sleep

I’m so tired…
I could use a cup of coffee to get me wired-
With lots of caffeine and perhaps a bite of chocolate or two-
You know what I mean…

It’s just that I’ve been up all night writing,
But when I glanced down at my paper,
There wasn’t a darn thing!

It’s been stored up in my mind
There, talking to me every time.

“OH Lord!” I cry out
“Help me, I’m in a bind!”

I close my eyes and listen as he responds…
“My child, go rest your weary little head.
Skip that coffee and go straight to bed.
And then after your sweet peaceful sleep,
Go get your tablet, and write, write…. write away…..

And I promise dear one,
This time, I won’t make a peep.”

Finally this poor little writer drifted off to a deep, deep sleep.
