Don't Go Back To Sleep
When you awake at early hours extend an open reach.
This is the quiet time instructive angels teach.
When you awake at early hours extend an open mind.
This is the quiet time insightful angels find.
When you awake at early hours extend an open heart.
This is the quiet time judicious angels chart.
When you awake at early hours extend an open eye.
This is the quiet time lamenting angels cry.
When you awake at early hours extend an open smile.
This is the quiet time exultant angels dial.
When you awake at early hours extend an open hand.
This is the quiety time affable angels land.
When you awake at early hours extend an open soul.
This is the quiet time generous angels dole.
