The Light That I Find Poem by Melanie Walendowsky Baker

I'm exhausted and weary
but you're on my mind.
So goodbye dreary
you're the light that I find.

Can't sleep with you near me
nor when you are not.
Can't even think clearly
but I'm not distraught.

How funny to feel so
I'm actually glowing.
Don't know what's next though
but no fun in knowing.

The memories are so few
I wish there were more.
If only we knew
how to open the door.

I sit here and wait
to be called by sleep.
Don't want to debate
if we'll again meet.

Switch yourself off, dear
it is lullabye time.
Tomorrow grows near
and again you'll be mine.
