Keep My Words {Day 30}

I’m tired. Bone tired. Now, usually I’m saying that about mothering and homemaking but… tonight, I’m saying it about WRITING!

This has never happened to me before – I feel like I’ve been on a marathon crunch of writing this month, and it’s felt good, and inspiring, and challenging, and… boy am I NOT feeling like writing this post.

Which, reminds me of the MAIN THING I’ve learned throughout this entire process – the process of writing is SO MUCH like the process of parenting. Sorry for all the caps. I am shouting tonight, only b/c I am too tired to edit in some lovely italics. That. Tired.

So here’s my small little poem for the last day. I am definitely NOT going out with a bang but… have to finish. I’m too tired to make a fancy graphic right now so … if this post is rather bare when you read it, my apologies!

Keep My Words (from Proverbs 7:1)

Now I lay two sons

Down to their sleep

I pray the Lord

My words they’ll keep

long after the fall of day,

these words of mine

will guide their way.

Now I lay this pen aside,

in feeble verse,

I humbly tried

recording love

and hope it keeps

deep in their hearts

whilst they sleep.

For when they wake

as older men

and turn these pages,

see what I’ve penned,

I pray the Lord,

His Word they’ll keep

and now I lay me

down to sleep.

Good night, little lads.

Mommy.
