DAILY SNACK
Tonight I lay me down to sleep,
And I pray that when I wake,
There will be no more stress.
No more anxiety and furrowed brows.
No more impatience and anger.
The hard knot in my heart will have melted away,
And in it’s place will be smiles and laughter and sunshine.
Poopy diapers and spilled milk, too, of course.
There will still be towering boxes of tools and a stove that still isn’t hooked up.
Hours of work ahead of me and no clear idea of how to proceed, sure.
But there also needs to be life and love and peals and peals of laughter.
I will it so.
Please.
