Sweet Sleep
To my Baby Boys
Sleep my sweet, have vivid dreams, as you lay within my arms,
Safe and warm, away from harm, from danger, and from scorn.
Sail among the silver streams, and may night take you away,
Dance among the stars, moon, and mars, and with the angels may you play.
Roll around the many fields, golden sleep dust in the wind,
May you swing from the tallest trees, with each animal make a friend.
May you run ever so careless over soft grass, pillows beneath your feet,
May you sip the sweetest honeysuckle, every berry found, may it be a treat.
You shall climb the tallest mountain, with tops white as sugar cane,
Take a leap, and fly with eagles, things you can't do while you're awake.
The wind in great abundance, can carry you right up to the sun,
May you relax upon the fluffiest cloud, until your fill is done.
And I here, within the room, will forever hold you close,
I shall keep you safe my dear, as you slumber and you doze.

Tongue Twister Mentality
Riddled with anxiety, inside of me, it's hard to breathe, I can not think, of anything in front of me. I'm out to sea, and can't be breached, beyond the reach, of those that wish to speak. My mind's on freeze, I want to scream. I'm begging please, just let me be, and let me sleep. One night of peace, is all I seek, from the things haunting inside of me.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
