AS SHE TURNED OVER.

As she turned over
To sleep, she found it
Quite difficult to
Believe that somewhere

In the world someone
Was about to creep
From their beds to a
New fresh day either

With enthusiasm
Or not, while her day
Was in its dying
Moments, simpering

Out with the slow burn
Of an old candle.

I've thought about that fact a lot. It's like trying to be in two places at once.

Nicely done.

With kids in other parts of the world, I've often thought about them getting up when I go to bed. Love the painting.
