Gift of Sleep
Renay Intisar Jihad
My day is complete. Easy to tough work done. Pleasantries mingled in. Today’s battles were won. Legs now outstretched. Spine reclined. The gift of sleep Rests my mind. When I awaken, I say, “Peace to you, world.” My mind, body, and spirit Feels renewed and cured. “Thank you, God, for getting me up. Thank you for moving me out. Thank you for pushing me along. Thank you for letting me serve you. Please keep me strong. I’m moving on.”
