A Night Time Wish

Wanting to go down early to my dearest bed
I shook the day's worries out of my head
My cares floating slowly without any sound
Like snow in the mountains came tumbling down

Out fell the recipe that I should surely soon try
Then the list of ingredients  swiftly came by
 Next the decision to fix the draft by the door
The furnace runs daily it seems more and mor

The thank-you note I must write for the kindness of others
What a blessing to have closely sisters and brothers
Next an appointment with my local physician
To see if he can cure my sleepless condition

Out fell the guilt of the  food   I'd   consumed
Tomorrow I'll find discipline and keep it uptuned
Out falls the worry of money, sewing, and cleaning
Out falls the scriptures that for me has much meaning

Out falls the memory  of the words I had said
I regret, negative and unthinking thoughts I had spread
A charge to do better to my friends and dear souls
I must find a way to fill empty bowls

Alas I am done, but what now do I see
Because of the worries, there's no room for me!
The bed's full or sorrows and things I should fix
Alas, I'll go see if there's some hot chocolate mix.

Dedicated to Jenny:

A child gives the world to you. If only all children had loving parents and safe homes and caring friends.  Children are a privilege and a sacred duty. 
This was from my book on English Literature.
The poet Keats said about a baby born to an unwed mother," it is a stumbling way to  begin  a soul."

To describe families.
On teachers:
A parent gives a child the opportunity for life, a teacher gives a child the opportunity to live well.(Pres. David O 'McKay.)
This is a conference statement by Pres. McKay. Home is the place where we form attitudes. Home is where hope if formed or destroyed. A happy home is but an earlyier heaven.

I am studying Wordsworth and Austin this week. Interesting poetry and ideas. Have a good week.
