Nighttime by Barbara Goodhew

Here it is late at night.
Wondering what to write.
Experiences of life.
Experiences of being a wife.
Knowing what to do and say.
But life can make me sway.
Doing right is hard to do.
Doing wrong is easy to do.
If like me, you always do things the hard way.
(The right things)
Night time is when I do my replay of the day.

Wisdom
Barb you are so full of wisdom,
Your words always tell the truth,
Your words always show you care,
If I ever did learn what would I do at night?

Barb, excellent read...THANX..
your words have alot of meaning..upon the end of my day( which is after work in the early part of the morning) i replay my day, try to make contact w/my inner soul to see what i could of done different that may have had a slight impact on just ONE, what could i have done different to have helped say with a smile.. "your wife made it through" instead of saying with tears in my eyes..." i am sorry we did all we could" i thank God that he knows the reasons for everything..then i focus into the next day and pray for a better solution on things especially in medicine, years from now many lifes will be spared, but ashame that we couldn't save ONE today..i continue as i always have..i put my day into Gods hands, life i will NEVER understand.. then i try to get some sleep.. i love reading your words cause you write of things we forget to write and talk about..HUGS/LOVE

Miss Barb
sometimes i do bad stuff too and i think about it when i'm in bed. sometimes if it was really bad i dream about it. then when i wake up i try to fix it so its not bad anymore. sometimes wrong things can change to right things. like when you draw a picture and you make a mistake you can rub it out. but if you do it in pen then you cant. thats why you have to do it rough first or if you cant then you have to think about it really hard and make sure you know exsakly what you want to do so that you dont do it wrong.
love Amy
