I’m laying in bed and watching the clock,
I’m wondering if this pain is ever going to stop.
My head is pounding and I feel so sick as I lay,
Tears and frustration are how I begin each day.
Regardless of the reasons of why I black out,
It can be scary and frustrating to not be up and about.
It’s not just a song – God’s still working on me,
But how long does it take – I want to be done already.
He’s forcing me to rely on him each and every day,
And I don’t really like it when I don’t get my way.
I know it’s His desire to fill my heart with pure joy,
But it’s not going to be easy if he keeps giving me all boys! 🙂
I really want to pout and cry – woe is me,
But there are so many blessings – why can’t I just see?
Now with 7 little kids – I’ve been blessed in abundance,
And I’ll never find anyone who could be a better husband.
I’m surrounded with people that I know love me and care,
I get notes of encouragement and am lifted up in prayer.
So I want to thank all of you for your outpouring of love,
It keeps me focused off myself – and on things from above.
This is what happens when I can’t fall asleep –
I start writing poems – better that then to weep!
SO – I don’t want to hear if this poem doesn’t really rhyme,
It’s 3 in the morning – the sun hasn’t even started to shine!
Now I’ll start working on one of my famous Top 10 Lists –
Just pray you’re not on it – or you’re going to get dissed!! 🙂
LOVE IT!!! I know this sounds bad but I’m glad you couldn’t sleep last night!! I love your writings!
Look at you using pretty words in rhyming oder… your so creative! now, with those top 10 list just remember to play nice with others…
LOVE YOU MUCH JODY!
HA!! Love the poem.
Are you going to the meeting next week?
Keep writing girlfriend! I love to read what you write. Make sure you keep your writings and publish a book! I love your wit and when you write it helps me to know how to pray for you and how you and boys are doing! I am sure going to miss seeing you this trip in!
Love ya,
Tracy

We just love you guys! You are a funny little girl! I love your little jab about those boys but I’m telling you they’re going to bring you PURE JOY!! You will see. Boys always love their mommy! 🙂
So you are funny even late at night? I have watched you on the mic infront of the groups – didn’t know you had your wit 24 hours a day! 🙂 I know you’re hurting though – even through the humor. So many people are praying for you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do! You’re a brave girl – and I admire you so very very much.
hey, i’m awake a lot at night – just give me a shout…
