Collage# 53

It has been a while
Since the last collage of your lives
Rest assured
You’re constantly on my mind
So much has happened
So much we’ve lived through
Together and afar
Our lives intertwined
Your accomplishments are noted
Your knowledge expands
The circle of your influence grows
As love flows within it
I am part of the love
That will never cease
No matter what happens
You and I will be
The affection we seek
The warmth we feel
The love we need
The support we desire
For each other

And for ever, Little Ones

Sleepless Night

Sleepless Night followed me and said

Don’t you want me to stay a while

Aren’t you a bit lonely tonight

When was the last time

That you’ve seen a friend

Is there a book you’d like to read

Or a puzzle you need to solve

Or a lesson you want to learn

And you didn’t think you had the time

Until I come along

I said Please go away

I need to be fresh in the morning

To have a firm grasp of the situation

And meet the challenges of the day

Sleepless Night laughed and said

Don’t be so serious my dear

What firm grasp will you have

Whether you stay up till late

Or go to bed at eight

I said The medical professionals

Think it’s best to have a goodnight sleep

For at least seven hours

To function well in a demanding world

Sleepless Night retreated

Goodnight and Sweet Dream

I just want you to be happy

But if you ever need me

You’ll just have to whisper my name

I am never so far away

Strangely I found comfort

To have Sleepless Night beside me

On a sofa I played a few more games

And checked out a few more facts

Till my eyelids got heavy

Sleepless Night helped me to bed

Hovered over me so lightly

Kissed me gently on the forehead

And then silently slipped away
