Baker's hours

working in a bakery is hard work
I remember turning the ovens on at 3am
before I would get the donuts started
they would fry so much better
when they were still a little frozen
then I would give them a good glaze
frozen bread dough was put in the fridge
the day before so it was ready to go
and I would bake my heart out
making everything from subs to hoagies
fresh baguettes to croissants
everything else came in frozen
until it was time for cake orders
fruit vegetables and sandwich platters
fried roasted chickens and drumettes
you name it we did it and it was tough
we all cranked out a lot of beautiful food
but I do not miss it one bit
I think that was the hardest job I ever had
the pay wasnt too bad but I hurt everyday
I even got stuck in the freezer once
however it was a mini break till they found me
I did have a coat on so I was fine
it was almost an hour before they noticed
the jobs we had in our youth molded us
so yes bakers hours you say?
you certainly can keep them
other than a fresh fried donut
or a nice hot croissant
I sure do miss sneaking a few of those...

My first job was telephone sales. At the time I had a bit of a stutter and that job really helped me learn to speak slowly and e-nun-ci-ate.
its sometime after 2am as I sit here thinking
our Father knows exactly what about, too
He is right here with me hearing my mind
every single moment of it all
for my heart currently aches the most
conflicted contradicted convicted or constricted
as my feelings seem to not know where to go
and they are in here fighting with me
so I give them to the Lord in prayer
knowing He understands each one
even though they are jumbled like puzzle pieces
therefore I breathe one breath at a time
sometimes that is all we can do
one moment one breath one step one blink
as we simply exist as silently as possible
cause the heart noise is too loud
Father in the name of your Son Jesus Christ
might musical melodies marvelously melt
my mind and heart into exceeding happiness
as I hopefully dream of angels singing...
Amen and goodnight

SWEET SLEEP to you .... May those musical melodies marvelously melt your mind and heart onto JOY that overflows.
Thank you In Awe of Him; many blessings to you 
I managed to rest in my usual increments, but much better than on most nights.
May we praise our Father in heaven, for He is the one whom allows for rest.

the ticks are counting the tocks
as they chase one another
round and round they run
clicks steady as they go
to the hospital I drive
maybe I will take back roads
its a nice scenic route
the time is at hand they know
Im off for a new adventure
the old me will feel different
reduced pain levels are good
time for new seeds to sow
just another cut here and there
more scars to cover in the sun
nothing I cant hide with clothes
my waist will shrink not grow
in the meantime my mind hears
super sensitive to the sounds
of a clock that paces on
and carries me to and fro...
