This is my first attempt at trying to
write anything musical.  I can’t carry a
tune in a basket, but thought I’d try
til someday the words flow.

Sleep, sweet girl
moonshine coming
through your window.
Looking. Thinking.
How wonderfully sweet
you look tonite.
.
Sleep sweet girl,
Waiting, watching
all the night long.
Moon light streaming
thinking of you growing.
Seeing your mother
as you dream.
.
Sleep sweet girl
as angels wait and watch
keeping you safe
all the night long.
Dream sweet memories
Sunshine awaits you.
.
Sleep sweet girl.

weather occupies
thoughts of stay, leave, postpone, build
an ark may suffice
.
rains come, Thursday rains
plans to travel Thursdays change
on hold Thursday next
.
ark versus a sleigh
it’s a given, rain. will rule
Thursday’s plans postponed
.
Jfef’s work is night time
Thursday a well rested day
we’ll travel one day

A friend and I, Jfef, short for Jeff,
short for Jennifer, (I’m Sgigi, short for
Siggi, short for Sigrid), want to go to
Portland, Maine, a 3 hour trip in good
weather, for a “play date” with her
daughter and her toddler children.
Jfef works nights as a nurse and doesn’t
want to drive when she’s tired…Thursday
is that day…and it seems to rain every
Thursday.
If this had been snow, we’d have snow
up to our rafters…
something to be thankful for…
that, and the leaky roof was finally fixed
a few days before the heavy Thursday
rains started !
