Sleep...

Sleep is completely underrated...and I know why that is now.

I learned this morning that I need to get more of it. Without it I'm grouchy, irritable, and bratty and it makes me do things I don't mean to do. I take my grouchiness out on someone who doesn't deserve it. When all I should do is treat that person as well as I possibly can.

...and sleep leads me to dreams...

Why? Because he makes me smile. He makes me shiver. He makes me laugh. He makes me tremble. He makes me giggle, and giddy. He makes me feel silly, and young. His hands are strong and tender. His feelings are the same. He gives me time, caring, concern, control when it is needed. He does all of this and asks for so very little in return.

..and He does make me smile...a lot...

I want to tell Him now that I appreciate Him. Everything that He is and does for me. All the little things He gives me that I have never gotten from anyone else. All the amazing talks, the time we spend, the smiles we share. The touch of His hand on me. The soft kisses. The dreams of all of that and more.

...and much, much more...

And from now on, I will sleep when I get home. So that when I wake up curled in His arms, my lips are ready to give Him a good morning kiss He feels to His toes.
