Not meant to alarm, just with angina have nights like this now and then and this was the best topic I could think of this morning...


Poem Artwork

Sleepless


 


I didn’t go to sleep last night


Afraid I wouldn’t wake up again


You see I have a bum heart


Sometimes it causes me some pain


 


Oh…I’m not too afraid of dying


No major sins weighing my soul


I know I’ve never been an angel


Just a common man living a role


 


My pillows just not right tonight


I feel that pain creep in again


Sit up and take another shot of Nitro


Hope it will chase away the pain


 


Sip some lukewarm bedside water


Pick another side to roll onto


Think a moment of the grand kids


That always brings a smile or two


 


Watch the room begin to lighten


As the sunshine greets the day


Now the night is finally over


I feel the pain also slip away…errrrrrrr

Sounds like my nights--take some benedryl works like a charm, plus releases your pain in dreams. Nice poem.

I liked the ending....
Long night and no sleep...then the light of sunrise. Hope you are feeling better.
My best regards,

Felix, if you are going to err, always do it on the side of caution.
Chest pain is nothing to be brave about. Especially if you are hitting the Nitro with no relief.

Fee, You mustn't be in pain alone. If ever you are feeling scared or restless again, please contact me. I am going to give you a special place tonight in my healing circle. Around Midnight, feel my warmth and healing energy coming to lighten your load, to relieve some of your pain and fear and wash away your exhaustion.
Know you are never alone, you have your guardian angels and your friends here on the den...I will be very upset if you should leave us too soon, you hear!
Peace, Love, and Light,

The early hours waken me at times too. It's a fear that takes time to roll away. I simply.lay back on my pillow and say"I'm on a beach...the waters are licking the sands...licking the sands...licking the sands (over and over). Soon I am relaxed enough to fgall asleep with a smile. This has gotten me through so many sleepless night. Since I have a cold bed...there are times when I really get lonely. I hope this helps Fee.
Love,
Susan

We (me) wants to see these heart problems nipped before Rose or Selena or RaeLynn writes the poem entitled "Fee has gone to sleep."

I'm hoping you've been to the doctor, today, instead of saying/thinking it was just another episode - "oh, well."

Your poetry is a bright star in my life.

Take care and God bless you. You are in my prayers.
