Book: Castle View While you were asleep
I fed the kids
And walked the dog
While you were asleep
I paid some bills
And made some calls
When you go to lay you head
Upon your bed
My evening has just begun
When my tired eyes
Are allowed to close
Your alarm screams seven ten
While you eat crumb cakes and tea at 4PM
My stomach growls
It time for brunch
When I'm making chicken
You try to make love
On the phone 6 hours away
I feel guilty
That I am sleeping
While you are awake
I feel envy
That your work day is over
When mine has jsut begun
This time delay
This continental romance
Has got me in a tilt a whirl
Cuz while you were sleeping
I fell in love
Deeper with you.
Deb:
How true this is.Sometimes to make things work there might be some challenges-but challenges are there to overcome. For love can be stronger than any obstacle in its way-it can push aways things that are believed unpushable-nothing can overcome-can defeat the feeling of love if we don't let it. This is a very thought provoking and well written poem Deb. Thank you for sharing. Please take care and have a very beautiful and safe weekend.
Rregards,
