Insomnia Sucks!

When I awoke this mornin'

When all sweet things were born

A Robin sat upon the sill

Sang sweetly to the morn

The bird who sang so sweetly

His breast fire-truck red

I gently closed the window

And squashed his fuckin' head!

Insomnia sucks!  Another night of tossing and turning and wishing to fall asleep.  Lying wide-eyed, body exhausted.  I finally got to sleep at 3am this morning and when the twittering of the birds awoke me - I could've killed every single bloody one of them.

Remember its Blog Action Day 2010 this Friday! 

Go Register Insomniacs!

(even The White House and theUK Foreign Office will both be joining us in blogging about water on BlogAction Day this year)

When In Doubt ...write

Lately I have been throwing myself into writing, poems mostly. The thoughts mostly come at night when I'm relaxed and lying in bed (just before I fall asleep) and then I have to get up and write stuff down (otherwise I forget).  My hubby thinks I'm mad lately.

I don't claim to be a writer but I'm nevertheless going to post some for you to critique.  Be honest!

 
Enough

I love you
enough to do anything for you.
Give my life,
my love,
my heart,
my soul to you
and for you.

Enough to willingly give all my effort, trust and prayers to you.
Enough to want to protect and comfort you.
Enough to want the best for youto wish for your successes.
Enough to cherish you and respect you.
Enough to fight for you,compromise for you,sacrifice for you.
Enough to miss you incredibly when we're apart,
no matter what length of time or distance.
Enough to believe in our familyto never give up on us.
Enough to never want to leave you or live without you.

I love you this much

Happy Birthday For Friday, Janie!

Sisters
by Gillian Hefer

The unique relationship that sister’s share
Is a bond stronger than anything out there
Its blood,
Its forever,
Tender and incredibly strong
Someone who’ll stick up for us, even if we are wrong.


Sisters are extremely different in so many ways
But the love and connection always stays
A sense of comradery,
A sense of belonging,
A fusion of unconditional love
Someone who’ll encourage us when things get rough

My Sister’s love is enormously dear to my heart
Even if, and when, we drift far apart
We bicker,
We disagree,
Forgiveness is inevitable and easy to mend
We’ll always find our way back to each another in the end

Sisters Together,
Sisters Forever,
A union shared,
A damn good blether.

I love you Janie
Happy Birthday for Friday (we'll be away for the day so I thought I'd post this today)
And may we always remain close and best of friends.
