Laying devout



I lay devout now, downward spiral
Awaiting these four dragging hours or so.

Blessed beyond thou years,  Tonight my one almost two years old,  thanked the Lord  before he eat,  and,  right when I felt like giving in.  

Blessed thee, I'll lay devoutly.  

                             Jacob yon
