Keep A Pen and Pad Beside Your Bed

by

Hardy Parkerson

Keep a pen and pad beside your bed;
And when a thought comes to your head,
Get up and write it down and then
Climb back in bed again.

The things you might have left undone:
To shop for groceries, cast your vote;
Tomorrow you can do each one,
If you stop tonight and write a note.

For it's in those early hours,
When the mind's eye is crystal clear,
That we hear the voice of God
Speak in a voice not heard by ear.

Yet in a still, small voice God speaks
Of things yet left undone;
And though we hear not with our ears,
We know from whence that voice has come.

So when a thought you think at night,

Rise from your bed and quickly write

A note of what you have remembered

To do as you have slumbered.

Why don't you look at Happiness, Sadness, Joy or Sorrow
