REMEMBER THE DAY'S BLESSINGS AND FORGET THE DAY'S TROUBLES

MASTER BEDROOM
Andrew Wyeth

When I took my troubles to bed

Laid them on the pillow next to me

I thought I had put them to rest

So I searched for diversions instead

With heavy eyelids I drifted off

But during my restless sleep

I grabbed the troubled pillow

And placed it under my head

Next to my breath-I inhaled it

Near my ears-I listened to it

Above my heart-I embraced it

And all night wrestled with it

The next day I made my bed

With yesterdays troubles still

Lying there under the covers

Waiting for my sleepy head
