Do u find yourself smiling as and when u like. At nobody?

I do. Certain things were running through my mind and uncontrollably, a smile was plastered on my face. It didnt occur to me how weird it may seem until I felt eyes appraising me, labeling me as unsound.


I was in a long, sweet slumber. I dreamt about doing my project. Not that it's anything sweet at all. Sweet becoz I've not been sleeping well these days.

Awaken by nothing, I sprang up. A brand new day awaits. Rejoice in the Lord always.

I was reading a poem which brought me close to tears,
here it is, i share with u, hope ur heart it nears.

"A precious boy with the golden hair
came up one day beside my chair
and fell upon my bended knee
and said "Oh mommy, please pray with me!"

I said "Not now, go on and pray;
I've got so much to do today."
He smiled through tears in eyes so blue
When i said, "We'll pray when i get through."

But the chores lasted through the day
and i never did find time to pray.
When supper was over and dishes done,
I was much too tired for my little son.

I tucked him in and kissed his cheek
and watched my angel fall asleep.

As i tossed and turned upon my bed,
those words kept ringing in my head,
"Not now., son, go on and pray,
I've got so much to do today."

I fell asleep and in a minute's span,
my little boy is a full grown man.

No toys are there to clutter the floor;
no dirty fingerprints on the door;
no snacks to fix; no tears to dry;
the rooms just echo my lonely sigh.

And now I've got the time to pray,
but my precious boy is gone away.
I awoke myself with a pitiful scream
and realized it was just a dream.

For across my room in his little bed,
ay my curly haired boy, the sleep head.
My work will wait 'till another day
for now I must find some time to pray."
-From Diana (Mrs Joe) Neal.
