when you can’t get to sleep…

Father

I hate it when you ignore me and keep quiet.

Sometimes I am quiet because I have no comment.You can rage into the night.
You can sing like UTube
You can throw a tantrum.
Let it out!.
I can’t keep you quiet. I don’t have the power.
But maybe I make you feel lonely, fragile, hurting, ignored…
I am all ears…
Fill them with your wrath
Pound your fists on the pillow
Stamp those feet
Cry like a wolf
I will gladly absorb the burden.

I treasure you with all your confusion
impatience and doubt.
Your faith will win out
We shall bow to the spirit
Walk in his light.
Laugh with his love, And shelter our Willie!
ALL IN GOD”S TIME

Sometimes I am hungry, malnourished and confused
Sometimes I feel like I have nothing in me except the will which says hold on
It’s so cold outside
It’s so cold without you

It’s 34 degrees and still snowing
Wrap yourself in a bunting , tightly, fetal position
And gently rock side to side
Humming lullaby
Let the Good Shepherd lift you to his chest
Hear His heartbeat
Feel the rough weave of his robe
Baaaaabaaaaa little lambkin
Rock a lamb baby
