I am Awake...

I'm tired...it seems like all the time.
I'm frustrated....my mind doesn't focus.
I'm lonely...I miss family and friends, especially my daughter.
My body feels pain that does not cease...I try not to let it show.

I ask for help...God hears me and sends me a message.
I hear, "I love you and you are not alone."

This helps me through my days, yet I lay awake at night...
my mind still thinking...constantly running...I need to shut down,completely.
I need to rest, mentally and physically...my body does not agree.
These long days I spend awake, needing some respite...

I talk to my God, he hears me and sends me a message.
I hear "I love you and you are not alone."

Although my body does not sleep, spiritually I feel awake.
