Sleep can wait as
I still have minutes to fill. Closing my eyes only brings darkness and my wish
is for the light. I am tired, but most are when age runs past you so quickly you didn't notice.
Now is the time when all I want is to see my babies grow and listen to their
wisdom as they listened to mine. I’m not much of a late person anymore, but I
can remain awake long enough to watch a movie with a small hand holding onto
mine. My slightly shaking hands can still throw a ball or remove the training
wheels from a hand me down bicycle that so many happy moments were made on. My
steps are slowing, but they haven't stopped so I look for chances to take a
slow walk with the young ones who still look up to me.
Yes, sleep can wait there are minutes to be filled, walks to be taken and love
to be shared in stolen moments in the light.www.facebook.com/mikeoconnor-author
