Subject: RE: Non-Music -What the world has to say
No, certainly not suggesting anything like that and in fact I don't have a clue where that's coming from. (When I said I'm sure "you'll" let me know, that was actually a generic you to the great mudcat collective knowledge base.)

In fact, you're up three hours later than I, aren't you?

I am, in fact, exhausted. And this is what came out of it just now; I kind of like it:

Now I lay me down to sleep
The day is done and I did keep
my children safe another day
my parents honored in this way

This day is gone and gone for good
I spent it wholly as I should
A perfect past and perfect future
Meet now in the children I nurture

A world awaits them this is certain
Joys and griefs behind a curtain
Perfect future perfect past
Windward, leeward, to my mast

Lift the clouds that shroud the way
Some brief glimpse so they don't stray
Too distant from the perfect path
Pulled by future's slipstream fast

Perfect balance, by design
I have learned, for I own Time
Spend it wisely as I choose
A perfect path on this long cruise

Children now delivered through
There's no more that I can do
My Time is spent, I have no need
for balance, timing, craft or speed

My Time is spent, my deed is done
My day is gone, my honor won
The ship sails on and I shall find
A perfect rest, for all God's time.
